Treehuggers

Clearcuts by the side of the road
Logging trucks with a heavy load
How long can this go on?
It's already been too long

Treehuggers!
Have you hugged a tree today?

They have lived for a thousand years
My eyes are filled with tears
How long is it gonna take
Before the sleeping giant wakes

Treehuggers!
Go out and hug a tree

We have seen the salmon go
Go the way of the buffalo
How long till the truth sinks in
We're living deep in sin

Treehuggers!
I hugged a tree today
