Lumber Yard Lyrics by McCafferty

Sum of All Fears

2016

Eye contact makes first impressions last
Firm handshake makes good business practice
Send your soul up and out through your mouth for me
Grow up now, join robots like myself
Lumber yard

So cut the tree down, so cut the tree down, so cut the tree down
Lumber yard
So cut the tree down, so cut the tree down, so cut the tree down
Lumber yard
So cut the tree down, so cut the tree down, so cut the tree down
Lumber yard
So cut the tree down, so cut the tree down, so cut the tree down

They said, "Well, yick yack and paddy whack, give a dog a bone"
And "anything that you can do, I can do better"
Cancer and sickness, you can do better
Cut off my hair so you could feel better
Write home to parents so they don't know better
Tell all my friends that they could do better
Tell all my kids that they could do better
Tell all my kids that they could do better
So go down

So cut the tree down, so cut the tree down, so cut the tree down
Lumber yard
So cut the tree down, so cut the tree down, so cut the tree down
Lumber yard
So cut the tree down, so cut the tree down, so cut the tree down
Lumber yard
So cut the tree down, so cut the tree down, so cut the tree down
So cut the tree

Sink, or swim, and we'll crawl into our skin
You know that sink, or swim, we'll crawl into our skin
You know that sink, or swim, we'll crawl into our skin
You know that sink, or swim, we'll crawl into our skin
You know that sink, or swim, we'll crawl into our skin
You know that sink, or swim, sink, or swim

And we're not back, we're not back, we just do this when we want to
When the words finally come and the music kinda wants to
We're not back, we're not back, we just do this when we want to
When the words finally come and the music kinda wants to
We're not back, we're not back, we just do this when we want to
When the words finally come and the music kinda wants to
We're not back, we're not back, we just do this when we want to
When the words finally come and the music kinda wants to
We're not back, we're not back, we just do this when we want to
When the words finally come and the music kinda wants to
We're not back, we're not back, we just do this when we want to
When the words finally come and the music kinda wants to
