There's a tree in the city It ain't lookin' pretty Blessed with stress Smog clogging feelin' sh**ty There's a river on the highway Things aint goin' my way Turn around, go away Come again another day To the bed I go Stumble to and fro Tired from another day of lookin' for my glow It's hard to get up You can say I'm fed up One things for certain I gotta keep my head up Keep your head up - keep my head up Keep your head up - keep my head up Keep your head up girl, keep your head up Keep your head up - keep my head up Keep your head up - keep my head up Keep your head up girl, keep your head up The sun ain't hard to see Just turn off your TV Everything around you is just part of every other thing I'm a tree Why you gotta do what you do Why you gotta tell me how to be Gee, make me feel like you do I'm tried of messing around It's time to let these people know A tree in the city It needs somewhere to grow River on the highway I've never seen a grayer day It's sad, its crappy, it needs somewhere to play As for me, I'll sit under the tree Cuz there ain't no better place to be Keep your head up - keep my head up Keep your head up - keep my head up Keep your head up girl, keep your head up Keep your head up - keep my head up Keep your head up - keep my head up The sun ain't hard to see Just turn off your TV Everything around you is just part of every other thing I'm a tree Yo, what a freak Are you all staring at me? I'm a tree Yo, what a freak I'm a tree! (no you're not) I'm a tree! (stop lying) Keep your head up - keep my head up Keep your head up - keep my head up Keep your head up girl, keep your head up Keep your head up - keep my head up Keep your head up - keep my head up Keep your head up girl, keep my head up The sun ain't hard to see Just turn off your TV Everything around you is just part of every other thing I'm a tree The sun ain't hard to see Just turn off your TV Everything around you is just part of every other thing I'm a tree I'm a tree
