This Rotten Tree
Decay of Deception: The Rotten Tree Unveiled
Lyrics
Liars left their roost last night
Liars departed from their usual place of influence recently
I heard it from some talkshow host
I learned about it from a television talk show host
Fangs and venom working hard
Fangs and venom, possibly metaphorical, indicating deceit and malice, are actively at work
In simulcast from coast to coast
The deceitful actions are being broadcasted simultaneously from one end of the country to the other
Hey ho, 'round we go
An expression of indifference or resignation, as the situation repeats
This rotten tree will never grow
Despite any efforts, there is no hope for improvement or positive change in the current state
Hey ho, 'round we go
Reiteration of the lack of growth or improvement in the corrupt system
This rotten tree will never grow
The corrupted state of affairs will persist, emphasizing hopelessness
Dogs and colonels laugh in packs
Dogs (possibly symbolic of followers) and colonels (military figures) mockingly unite and deceive us
And take us for the fools we've been
They exploit our gullibility, taking advantage of our past foolishness
Some patriots got drunk and begged
Some individuals who claim patriotism are intoxicated and request a collective downfall
To all go bottoms up
An ironic plea for a complete failure or collapse
Hey ho, 'round we go
Repetition of the indifferent attitude towards the situation's lack of improvement
This rotten tree will never grow
Restating the perpetual stagnation and corruption, emphasizing hopelessness
Hey ho, 'round we go
Reiteration of the lack of growth or improvement in the corrupt system
This rotten tree will never grow
The corrupted state of affairs will persist, emphasizing hopelessness
This rotten tree will never grow
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the corrupted state, reinforcing hopelessness
This rotten tree . . .
Repetition of the assertion that the corrupt system will never improve or develop
This rotten tree . . .
-This rotten tree will never grow
Final emphasis on the perpetual lack of growth in the corrupt system
A seemingly unrelated line, possibly indicating an email address or a shift in focus
