Back in the day I was spitting rap flows Where the humming fish hum and the grickle-grass grows The home that I'm staying in in homeostasis Truffa trees growin' in this beautiful oasis Spacious, untouched beauty You must embrace this One day this dude came through Acting outrageous I was meditating In astral planes indeed When I heard the whack of an axe on a tree I fell back through a black hole into 3 dimensional space Saw this young man taking truffula tufts and weaving shapes I said Mister who are you, and What are you making with the tuft from my tree He said Sir I'm the Onceler and I'm making a thneed A thing that everyone needs Oh yea? Like who Sir I'm the Lorax I speak for the trees the fish in the pond The birds and the bees, heed the words that I speak If you chop down the forest then no one can breathe I speak for the trees for the trees have no tongues He said Good for you, that's enough, are you done This is capitalism 101 Find a resource worth money and take til it's gone And these Thneeds I'm making will make some funds Plus I brought guns what you gonna do punk I'm the Lorax, the Lorax I speak for the trees My home had been invaded by sickness of greed I fear for the future indeed He made the land bleed that damn greed Built a factory and started knocking down the forest like a stampede I called on my people to stand up But he brought the fire power He brought the tear gas He brought the smoke bombs He let the dogs out Smoke smogged out the towers Muck spewed out of pipes to water They attacking the sacred water I pleaded for them to stop Like, We are made of water Everyday we bathe in water, pray for water You know we gotta save the water But he replied Save it father Before ya meet ya grave, don't bother Trying to stop me unless you wanna be a martyr I am smarter I am growth, I am industry I am synergy I'm ya inner you, you my inner me You my enemy, I'm a centipede For every one of you there's ten of me And we will chop down every last tree then leave And that exactly what he intended to do I'm the Lorax, speak for the trees My home had been invaded by sickness of greed I fear for the future indeed So I'm saving a seed just in case we're I'm the Lorax, speak for the trees My homes been invaded by sickness of greed I speak for the trees Mad fidgeting blood glistening Heard a loud whack and the smack sickening The last truffula, crash vividly, that sinister Now the magical forest is no more My homes been transformed into a dump And I sit all alone on this stump The very first stump From the tree he chopped down When I was up in them clouds Now the clouds all masked by smog Billowing out Filling the lungs of the swans So I told em get gone, get gone, fly long The water so toxic the fish had to dip from the pond What once was a magical forest Now it ain't fit for a con Ain't fit for the worms or the crows or the orchids For the pebbles or the peasants or the tourists I look around see a forest with no trees A lake that's lime green And there sits the Onceler crying, why me In front of his factory A monument to the travesty And I watch as his family and workers all leave There's no more trees, no more land left to bleed They all leave, til it's just him, and me And he looked at me with a look that said Money can't buy happy I'll be alone til I'm dead With a look that said I beg you to reply Tell me I told you so Tell me that you were right But I didn't say a thing Not today not tonight Not this life, not this life I took a seed from My pocket Tossed it, hit him in the eye Then I bounced without saying a thing Irish goodbye
