Take Me to White Forest

from How to Operate Your Brain by New Lungs

lyrics

And I wonder if my parents never split
Or if the country cared what the Nazis did
And if you took me to White Forest
Would I be lynched or would I live?

And I suppose.
Yeah, I suppose.
That I could never search or,
Know for sure.
But could I know,
Yeah, could I know,
The endless acres that this forest burned.

And I wonder if the first Americans
Arrived in boats and had white skin
And it worries me that there are no trees
In this concrete White Forest

And I suppose,
Yeah, I suppose.
That I could never search or,
Know for sure.
But could I know,
Yeah, could I know,
The endless acres that this forest burned.

Give me a house
Give me a pool
And a two-car garage, and a piano that I’ll never play
Give me a road with my own designated lane
Give me a pink sky, blue eyes, green breeze, white trees
Take me to White Forest
I want to live that way!
