LYRICS

I’m the king of the forest 
i’ll speak for the trees 
No gods, no masters 
just birds and bees 
come on over, and see what I see 
Come on over, and see what I see 

I see 
Mass destruction on a global scale 
fracking into the land, pulling gas from the shale 
swimming in a river full of poison 
swimming in a river full of poison 

now boys and girls want you to tell them 
why they’re sick 
and why they’re dying 
we just want to know the truth 
no more tricks 
so why you lyin’? 

Lelu Island, Unistoten, to North Dakota 
I hate to say I told ya, but I told ya & I showed ya! 
now that we can set fire to the water supply 
we ask the tough questions, while your tongue gets tied 

i’m still dreaming of a world equal on all sides 
I know light will shine through where the darkness divides 
Come on over, and see what I see 
Come on down, and see what I mean 

I mean 
boys and girls want you to tell them 
why they’re sick 
and why they’re dying 
we just want to know the truth 
no more tricks 
so why you lyin’? 

It’s time to throw feathers down into the tar sands 
time to recognize the treaties mad e on these lands 
time to stop mining down the wishing well 
‘cause it seems to me the devil’s in the diving bell 

where’s your sacrifice? where’s your pain? 
just because there’s expansion doesn’t mean there’s gain 
just because there’s new leaders doesn’t mean there’ll be change 
just ‘cause we’re out of touch don’t mean we’re out of range

King of the Forest

Based out of Smithers, BC, The Racket is an alternative rock trio. In their music, you can expect heavy n’ steady rock n’ roll, tight n’ funky grooves, and their evolving brand of folk-rock, all performed with energy that’ll get a crowd off it’s feet. With a lot of songs revolving around social change, they set the new age to a heavy downbeat...
