RUSH: THE TREES

Ahora que el socialismo parece ponerse de moda nuevamente les comparto esta gran canción de una de las mejoras bandas de rock progresivo de la historia.

Now that socialism seems to be fashionable again I´d like to share with you this great song from one of the best progressive rock bands in history.

There is unrest in the forest,

There is trouble with the trees,

For the maples want more sunlight

And the oaks ignore their pleas.

The trouble with the maples,

(And they're quite convinced they're right)

They say the oaks are just too lofty

And they grab up all the light.

But the oaks can't help their feelings

If they like the way they're made.

And they wonder why the maples

Can't be happy in their shade.

There was trouble in the forest,

And the creatures all have fled,

As the maples scream "Oppression!"

And the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union

And demanded equal rights."

The oaks are just too greedy;

We will make them give us light.

"Now there's no more oak oppression,

For they passed a noble law,

And the trees are all kept equal

By hatchet, axe, and saw.
