if we ever go to a party together

"Neil Peart has remarked that the inspiration for penning the song simply came from a humorous comic strip he read which depicted trees arguing like people."(wiki)

The appropriate affirmative action for when you hear Rush's "The Trees" is to cut down a tree and smash the stereo with it.

Please note the best use for a Rush "Hemispheres" picture disc (which contains "The Trees") is as a helmet embellishment for a suit of armour made out of LPs.

Rush might be my pick for the band with the worst lyrics ever.

Seriously, Neil, just stick to playing your 15,000 piece drum kit and don't attempt to write lyrics ever again.
