lyrics

Once each December, my father takes me
Out to the forest for our Christmas tree.
We hiked through the forest, but this year was strange.
The trees have gained sentience and are taking revenge.

Up by their roots and they lumber along,
With pinecone projectiles and O Tennen-bombs.
They say they've been kidnapped and tortured and tossed,
But this bloody Christmas, they're showing who's boss.

Coro: Revenge of the Pines, broke free from the farms.
They're raising their branches and taking up arms.
Revenge of the Pines, trees shall overcome.
Their needles are green but their mind's on red rum.

They stormed Rockefeller and rescued their captain,
Who tore through the borough and levelled Manhattan.
They've taken our cities in one single night.
It turns out their bark is as bad as their bite.

[Coro]

And us that are left, we have made an accord
With the newly-formed Pine Tree Advisory Board.
No more Christmas trees, their singular goal.
Now I'm hanging my star 'pon my steel Christmas pole.

Revenge of the Pines, repurpose the farms,
'Cuz we've all got needles in legs and our arms.
Revenge of the Pines, they came out on top,
But how come nobody just axed them to stop?
