Where Are We Gonna Work (When the Trees Are Gone?)

Well, I come from a long line of tree falling men
And this company town was here before my grandpappy settled in
We kept enough trees a-standin' so our kids could tow the line
But now a big corporation came and bought us out, got us working overtime
But tell me
Where are we gonna work when the trees are gone?
Will the big boss have us wash his car or maybe mow his lawn
I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a lumberjack man but I fear it ain't for long
Where are we gonna work when the trees are gone?
Now these corporate mergers make no sense to me
But they got this junk bond debt to pay so we're clear-cutting all the trees
Now that old fishin' hole where I used to take my son
We trashed it out last Monday morn, oh Lord, what have we done?
Just tell me
Where are we gonna work when the trees are gone?
Will the big boss have us wash his car or maybe mow his lawn
I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a lumberjack man but I fear it ain't for long
Where are we gonna work when the trees are gone?
Now these Wall Street money men they got me mad
I've got a family to feed and falling trees is the only job I ever had
Say now folks, we just can't stand here while this slash and burn goes on
We've got to slow down this big corporation before all the trees are gone
Just tell me
Where are we gonna work when the trees are gone?
Will the big boss have us wash his car or maybe mow his lawn
I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a lumberjack man but I fear it ain't for long
Where are we gonna work when the trees are gone?
