Lyrics: This Rotten Tree

Liars left their roost last night
I heard it from some talkshow host
Fangs and venom working hard
In simulcast from coast to coast

Hey ho, ’round we go
This rotten tree will never grow
Hey ho, ’round we go
This rotten tree will never grow

Dogs and colonels laugh in packs
And take us for the fools we’ve been
Some patriots got drunk and begged
To all go bottoms up

Hey ho, ’round we go
This rotten tree will never grow
Hey ho, ’round we go
This rotten tree will never grow

This rotten tree will never grow
This rotten tree . . .
This rotten tree . . .
This rotten tree will never grow
