One more excuse to pave over trees See the deer run and hear their screams Eradicate the bumblebee Flowers die, oligarchs sing The oil baron's pockets clink The bells on registers will ring We're so ahead of everything So far ahead we don't have to think All we need is one more lane One more lane should fix this problem Too much noise in the world today Gotta pave the road, gotta dig those fossils Obey industrial kings, and let's get rid of everything alive Imagine what you'd like to see In utopian society Do you see highways and endless streets Or are the buildings lined with trees Or are they just machinery A field on a projection screen What you see is reality We'll start to forget everything All we need is one more lane One more lane should fix this problem Too much noise in the world today Gotta pave the way, gotta dig those fossils Obey industrial kings and let's get rid of everything alive You get older everyday Familiar faces fade away While the grass and trees still stay the same Only the bark will show its age But those trees, they get older too And sometimes they look just like you Their colors change when the seasons bloom But deep down you'll still feel your roots All we need is one more lane One more lane should fix this problem Too much noise in the world today Gotta pave the way, gotta dig those fossils Obey industrial kings, and let's get rid of everything All we need is one more lane One more lane should fix this problem Too much noise in the world today Gotta pave the way, gotta dig those fossils Obey industrial kings, and let's get rid of everything alive "I have always for some reason, I don't know why Been enormously attracted by trees All my work is full of trees I suppose I have actually in some simple-minded form of longing I should have liked to have been able to make contact with a tree And find out what it feels about things"
