Shake That Tree

(album: Steel Umbrellas - 1994)

Itchy fingers reaching for the sky
Our hands are talking I know it's no surprise
You go your way, I'll go my way
It's no surprise
You go your way, I'll go my way
Nothing's different, nothing's changed
One man's failure is just one man's fame
You go your way, I'll go my way
No nothing's changed
You go your way, I'll go my way
One small step another leap for mankind
Another case of blind men leading the blind
One man's poison is another man's cure
Should we call this progress, I'm not sure
Shake that tree
You know it's all coming down to me
Shake that tree
'Cause it was always right there in front of me
You have the hammer, don't let it drop
You see it falling in your every thought
You go your way, I'll go my way
Your every thought
You go your way, I'll go my way
In the distance a child cries
You go your way, I'll go my way
But you will try
Shake that tree
You know it's all coming down to me
Shake that tree
'Cause it was always right there in front of me
Shake that tree
You know it's all coming down to me
Shake that tree
'Cause it was always right there in front of me
