They've watered you since you were a seed Watched you as you sprouted into life Smiled at you every time you did a good deed You thought they cared when they told you not to frown Thought they'd be proud when you reached your tallest height But instead they came with their axes and cut you down They planted you just to watch you fall jealousy and greed does this to us all

People in this town
They've watered you since you were a seed Watched you as you sprouted into life Smiled at you every time you did a good deed You thought they cared when they told you not to frown Thought they'd be proud when you reached your tallest height But instead they came with their axes and cut you down They planted you just to watch you fall jealousy and greed does this to us all
This is what happens when you're part of a small community of people who pretend to give a crap about you but its all for the wrong reasons.
