“Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage

Cast in this unlikely role
Ill-equipped to act
With insufficient tact
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact” Rush Limelight

"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
They say, "The 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"]

After you responded, I had to think twice about it. All these years i just assumed we were the maples and the elite were the oaks. After revisiting the song now, you may have just flipped my thoughts on that. lol
