This song is about a real thing; a developer wants to come in and remove 3-4K old growth oak trees and remove some federally endangered species, so he can build high density housing that'll be a fire hazard and create so much air pollution that nearby residents will die of lung cancer. But, hey! Let's make some money. We're in a climate crisis, and this is exactly what we should NOT be doing. There're plenty of flat, barren pieces of land this motherfucker can build on.
Anyway, if this developer succeeds and his rape-of-the-land-just-for-fun-project gets approved, I'm gonna get a bunch of people and we're gonna get together and SCREAM at the TOP of our LUNGS, a song of wailing and mourning for those poor oaks as they get murdered. It'll be a song of (peaceful) revolution. It'll be a scream to let the Spirit World know these trees are coming. It'll be a scream that'll radiate out to the entire earth.
Here's the website of an organization that's trying to stop this horrible thing:
