The Trees lyrics

Songwriters: Lee, Geddy; Lifeson, Alex; Peart, Neil

There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.

The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced the're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.

There is trouble in the Forest,
And the Creatures all have fled,
As the Maples scream oppression,
And the Oaks just shake their heads.

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"These oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.

neil peart has said repeatedly that the lyrics were just inspired by a cartoon he saw that featured talking trees. so...there might not be a metaphore even.

I think this could have something to do with like the UAW or something. Like the maples are the factory workers and the oaks are the white collar execs. Thats what it sounds like to me. But the last line with "Hatchet, axe and saw" makes it sound like it refers to communism being the solution and nobody being happy. I could be completely off though. Just a speculation.
