Pine BeetleMania

You heard the warnings from Gore and Suzuki, telling you your forest ain't fit for a Wookie
                                                                     
Cause the trees went red and your logs went blue, something went wrong with your Cariboo CO 2
                    
It got too thick, and now all your trees look like matchsticks.


    But you look the other way now you're stuck in the middle,
     
    Time to bend over and take it from the pine beetle.  Pine Beetle.  
          
    Forests gone fetal,  rusty pines like a junkies old needle, Pine Beetle.
                                  
    We got a free lunch deal.  An all you can eat tree-happy-meal.


They say “Good things come to those who wait”, but the winter ain't coming so it's time to celebrate,
                
Cause your trees got bark but our bite is worse.  So body bag those pines and put them in a hearse.

Dam has burst.  So kiss my bottom.  Cause every season here now looks like autumn.


Well it's a sticky situation and you're the sap, cause the temperature's rising and there's no cold snap
           
So bye-bye birdie cause there's no room here, we're gonna dine and dash the Northern Hemisphere
            
live in fear, cause we see red, and we won't stop till every pine tree's dead.
