o tannenbaum

o tannenbaum
that i cut down
your branches wear a wilted frown
o tannenbaum
that i cut down
you're evergreen's gone everbrown

o christmas tree
o christmas tree
the holidays come fatally
o christmas tree
o christmas tree
you lost the hindu lottery

your fate was in your dna
you should have lived another day
the oak and maple in the field
feel sorry that you have been killed.

the squirrels and birds that called you home
can't rest their head on styrofoam
they're crowded in the lucky boughs
too ugly for the jones' house

you're dressed up like an evening gown
your evergreen's gone everbrown
you're used just once
to give presents
and then they throw you in the dump
