Lyrics: Esbensen
|
|
Once we squatted, lost, on slaughtered lands
|
Choking alone on the dusty, dead desert sands
|
Then we learned we could all disobey
|
And watch your regulations wilt away
|
|
We spread the seed of bloom and birth
|
As all around us dies
|
Forsake the face of barren earth
|
And look to fertile eyes
|
|
Now the soil moistens each event
|
Drunk with the lushest leaves that ever went
|
Feasting on pieces of the sun till it sets
|
In this amazing maze we hedge our bets
|
|
And stand and swear a solemn oath
|
To spend our summer sprawl
|
Overrun by overgrowth
|
And underneath it all
|
|
Can't we all just get a lawn
|
And let it live its life, watch it grow?
|
Across the sand our line is drawn
|
And we're not gonna take any mow
|
|
Can't we all just get a lawn
|
And let it live its life, watch it grow
|
Before the day the grass is gone?
|
'Cause we're not gonna take any mow
|
|
We used to break our banks and backs
|
To make our lawns look nice
|
Now we lounge and we relax
|
Not even looking twice
|
|
No more lawns for you to lynch
|
Our gardens on their guard
|
At your feet, inch by inch
|
And spreading yard by yard
|
|
