They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot

smh today, i went over to the area where i use to live, there used to be trees, trees, trees.

but now. . . . .they're all gone :-/
as we passed the song "big yellow taxi" was playing.
my heart was full of pain when i saw all the trees where gone.
call me a hippie, tree hugger, w/e u want.
but this over building, and ridiculous over population.
needs to stop, before we have nothing left. . . . .nothing :-(
 
 
 
COUNTING CROWS- BIG YELLOW TAXI
 
They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot

With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot

They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
No, no, no, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise, and put up a parkin' lot

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT

I don't care about spots on my apples,
Leave me the birds and the bees - please
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now, they've paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not?

Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door swing,

And a big yellow taxi took my girl away
Now don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now now, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not, they paved paradise
They put up a parking lot
Hey hey hey, paved paradise and put up a parking lot

I don't wanna give it Why you wanna give it Why you wanna givin it all away
Hey, hey, hey
Now you wanna give it I should wanna give it
Cuz you're givin it all away, no no
