The same basic message of The Trees. Neil has said in interviews it didn't have a deeper meaning, just a little song. I doubt that's the truth.

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 they'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 their made
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade
