The Tree

Don't look so defeated
Don't look so surprised
You could've seen this coming
It was right before your eyes
My brain's up in the belfry
While you're beating down the door
Knock a little louder
Shout a little more.

It won't do much good
It won't do a thing
You always thought it would
My mind's out wandering
You say "trying to talk to you
Is like talking to a tree"
'Cause it don't do much good
It don't do a thing.

You say "open up your heart
Open up your mind"
Careful what you wish for
Who knows what you'll find
Boxes next to boxes
There's plenty here to do
But the walls ain't got no windows
There isn't much getting through.

It won't do much good
It won't do a thing
You always thought it would
My mind's out wandering
You say "trying to talk to you
Is like talking to a tree"
'Cause it don't do much good
It don't do a thing.
