Текст песни: Jack Pine + перевод

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

Singing «oh

I’ll rip my roots out of this ground»

Singing «oh»

Whoa

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?

Singing «oh

I’ll rip my roots out of this ground»

Singing «oh»

Whoa, yeah

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

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!»

Singing «oh

I’ll rip my roots out of this ground»

Singing «oh»

Whoa

Singing «oh

I’ll rip my roots right out of this ground»

Singing «oh»

Whoa, yeah
