Cherry Tree Warnings

[Verse] Under the blazing sun of July's heat He stood tall where the rivers meet Wooden teeth biting down on a bitter truth Said beware the chains dressed up as suits [Chorus] Don’t let 'em take it don’t let 'em break it A bank so big it swallows the nation Don’t let 'em fake it don’t let 'em shake it Freedom dies in centralization [Verse 2] A dollar forged in the devil’s den Whispers of greed from the mouths of men He carved his warning in the cherry bark A system this big will tear us apart [Prechorus] Red coats fade but the danger stays A gilded trap dressed in modern ways [Chorus] Don’t let 'em take it don’t let 'em break it A bank so big it swallows the nation Don’t let 'em fake it don’t let 'em shake it Freedom dies in centralization [Bridge] Oh the ink runs black but the roots run red They’ll chain your dreams with the lies they’ve said It’s not a war fought with guns or blades It’s a quiet theft that the mind obeys
