letra de jack pine - american opera

[verse 1]
well, i ain’t ever seen a tree
that chopped itself down
but my roots have grown too deep
i’m stuck in the ground
it’s time that i stepped to the side
and get out of my way
you see, my branches pine for something
that’s just out of reach
you’d think with all the shit i say
i could practise what i preach
but no, i’m stuck with my feet on the ground
and my head in the clouds
and when a tree just stays where it’s put
i know that it don’t make a sound

[chorus]
singing “oh
i’ll rip my roots out of this ground”
singing “oh”
whoa

[verse 2]
i saw an apple lose all hope
and then fall to the floor
a tear rolled down its cheek
as it took a bite of its own core
dying on the ground
discontent with the life it got
why don’t you pick yourself up off the ground
instead of sitting there to rot?

[chorus]
singing “oh
i’ll rip my roots out of this ground”
singing “oh”
whoa, yeah

[bridge]
my folks lost their leaves long ago
they don’t say much anymore
my brothers and sister are standing tall
will they hear it if i fall?
fall down

the older that i get, the bigger my gut
by this time next year, i’ll dig myself out of this rut
i say the same thing every year
every year disappears

[verse 3]
you don’t have to cut me open
to see how i’ve aged
in time, i’ll turn every sliver
into words on a page
i long for the day where i’ll rip
these roots out of this ground
the townspeople will scratch their heads and say
“well, gee, i’ve never seen a tree walk around!”

[chorus]
singing “oh
i’ll rip my roots out of this ground”
singing “oh”
whoa
[chorus]
singing “oh
i’ll rip my roots right out of this ground”
singing “oh”
whoa, yeah
