(to tune of Hotel California)
In a dark lit courtyard
Cool breeze in my hair
Warm smell of urine
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a fence go up
My face grew heavy and my heart grew dim
They damaged the tree roots, damn him
Then I heard a blow horn
I heard a terminal bell
And I was thinking to myself
Hugging this tree makes my pants swell
Then they started a lawsuit
And they showed me the way
There were lots of policemen
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to Berkeley penal system
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place (backgrounded)
I just got sprayed with mace(1)
Plenty of jobs at Berkeley Penal System
Any time of year
Any time of year (backgrounded)
You can find one here
You can find one here
Their minds were twisted
They had trees on there mind
They've got a lot of pretty, pretty leaves
That they call friends
How they dance with acorns
See the pine cones grow
Some toke to remember
Some toke to forget
So I called up nursery
Please bring me some pine
He said
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969
And still those forrests are calling from far away
Plant more sapplings in the middle of the night
Just to hear them grow
How great to sow...

I just got sprayed with mace(1)
They're livin' it up at Berkeley Penal System
There no trees in here
There's just concrete here (backgrounded)
Forrests I'm a dreaming
Tree seeds on ice
And they said
We are all just prisoners here
with no trees in site
And in the judge's chambers
They gathered for the fast
They staged a sit in
But they can't kill these trees
Last thing I remember
I was smelling a camp fire
I had to find the drug induced trance I had before
sleep, sleep, sleep said the warden
Your about to be gased
You can hug any tree you like
But you can never make like one and leave
