A Silent Army In The Trees

Matthew Good

Intro/filler: (listen to get # of reps) Verse: What will you find, where will you be when you gotta trade for company Those plastic guns and infantry for a silent army in the trees? Well this ain't the woods behind the house there ain't nobody screaming out for you to come inside and eat You're just holding your friends and watching them bleed Wore camouflage on Halloween, a plastic bag, an M-16 Door to door and house to house but ain't nobody handing it out Yeah nothing's ever what it seems when you're kicking in teeth and wishing it dreams Just plastic guns and infantry for a silent army in the trees verse 2: Now baby don't you let me down a world away and still somehow Can't shake the feeling that you're out With another man's arms wrapped tight around you At night it's cold, we sit and freeze running red lights in our Humvees Never thought I'd live to see the day I'd be afraid of little kids playing in the streets Well this ain't the woods behind the house There ain't nobody screaming out for you to come inside and eat You're just holding your friends and watching them bleed I'm on fire But all ice on the outside That old man in the sky Well he's all ice on the outside Rhythm Solo: verse 3: A muted whale out in the streets You watch the stage but burn the seats Two metal legs to get along You ain't got much without one to stand on Sometimes at night I hear it roll A hundred cars long pulling out slow Like the engineers inside my head Cold and dark like your side of the bed Yeah nothing's ever what it seems And even if it is ends justify means With plastic guns and infantry for a silent army in the trees I'm on fire But all ice on the outside That old man in the sky Well he's all ice on the outside
