Cherry Tree Lyrics

Cover art for Cherry Tree lyrics by National, The

Am I the only one who listens vivid slashing sound of George Washington's knife against young cherry trees every time Matt pronounces "Loose Lips Sink Ships"?

This song is obviously about a person who can't hold his tongue behind his teeth, telling the bitter truth to anyone without caring if this truth hurts someody's feelings or not. The man ruins people's lives but still makes the world a cleaner place.
