lyrics

there used to be a shade tree now there’s this awkward palm tree
growing in the concrete where rich white people park their SUVs
when they find a need for BEVERAGES or MORE!
I’ve got a glue gun you’ve got a real gun glue guns are more fun
so what’ya say we make some signs and stick’em up on the trees saying,
“You don’t want to kill me… you do not want to kill me!”
see, my concern is that in two hundred years our wars won’t be for oil or whatever
they’ll be for the last shady spot to sit down and eat a sandwich
or the only decent place to lay your lover down on the grass
because doing it in a parking lot seems trashy and besides you’d get unsightly asphalt burns
