Hangin' Tree Lyrics - I Don't Care That You Don't Mind - Crash Test Dummies

A friend is a need 

Like a gauze when you bleed 

And you're layin' and cryin' away 

And the dozen or so 

Of the friends that I know 

Aren't worth the time anyway 

The tree can be a hangin' tree 

The rose a thorny stem 

The wind can blow across the field 

But it's always us or them 

Yeah it's always us or them 

A song is a thing 

That you you write and you sing 

When you're layin' and cryin' away 

And the dozen or so 

That I wrote long ago 

Don't sound good anymore anyway 

The tree can be a hangin' tree 

The rose a thorny stem 

The wind can blow across the field 

But it's always us or them 

Yeah it's always us or them 

A prayer is a thing 

Like a kite on a string 

That can snap and get lost in the sky 

And a dare is a dare 

So you better beware 

'Cause soon you'll be saying goodbye 

The tree can be a hangin' tree 

The rose a thorny stem 

The wind can blow across the field 

But it's always us or them 

Yeah it's always us or them
