When the last tree falls in California 
Will anyone hear it crash 
Or will it be drowned out by the registers 
Ringing up that cold hard cash? 
Clear cut an entire redwood forest 
To pay off your old junk bond debts 
A fantasy-based economy 
Makes you foul your mama's nest 

Another family for the timber industry 
The signs on the houses read 
You just don't know how utterly moved I am 
By your well-planned lives and your needs 
Man, your boss is in a frenzy 
He acts like a man on a terminal cocaine run 
So what exactly do you plan to do for a living 
When your renewable resources are gone? 

Oh pity the poor buffalo hunter 
Who just can't hunt no more 
Oh pity the poor whaler 
Deprived of his rightful public support 
And pity the poor logger of the future 
With nothing left top cut down 
Sawing telephone poles with a chainsaw 
While the timber company clears out of town 
Bye bye, next stop Siberia

Oh the Humboldt Desert will be a wonder 
The tourists will come to stare 
You'd think they might have spared just a couple of the big ones
But no, they didn't really care
But it's all right, we've planned for the future 
The redwoods will grow back eventually 
We're all gearing up for a big logging boom 
In the thirtieth century
Chop it. Chop it good
