about

This is actually in reference to the fact that the Colorado River no longer reaches the ocean because it's water is diverted for agriculture.

lyrics

The Forest Near Your Old House

I hear the chainsaws ripping through the ancient trees
I see good people doing nothing
beauty strips along the highway to deceive
I see good people doing nothing
they say clearcuts put an end to plant disease
I see good people doing nothing
how can they cast aside all that they believe?
how can they sit there and do nothing?

there's a dry creek bed where no water flows
and the forest you once loved stands there no longer
it's just a barren piece of land where nothing grows
while their complacency and apathy make them stronger

*now your river can no longer reach the ocean
will you sit there and do nothing
our forests threatened by logging and pollution
will you sit there and do nothing
simply asking them to stop is fucking useless
will you sit there and do nothing
I'm so sick of every one of their excuses
how can they sit there and do nothing

there's a dry creek bed where no water flows
and the forest you once loved stands there no longer
it's just a barren piece of land where nothing grows
while their complacency and apathy make them stronger
