"Dandelion" by Tracy Bonham

|
All my life I thought I was the one to save the world,
|
It would come easy.
|
Now I'm old enough to sit around and piss and moan instead.
|
|
Save a tree and I will gladly admire its beauty,
|
10 to 12 inches.
|
Don't expect that I will get out of my chair to see it grow.
|
|
And I was a blooming flower
|
Blossoming from the seed.
|
And I was a blooming flower.
|
Turn my back and turn to...
|
Weed.
|
|
Those are people with them votes and all them hippie thoughts.
|
They do it better.
|
If I got involved I'd only get in everybody's way.
|
|
Shine my shoe and I won't say a thing behind your back.
|
Yeah, we're all brothers.
|
Don't expect that I will share my plate when your ribs start to show.
|
|
And I was a blooming flower
|
Blossoming from the seed.
|
And I was a blooming flower.
|
Turn my back and turn to...
|
|
Dandelion, Dandelion
|
Souls of you and me.
|
How can you smell so bad but look so pretty?
|
|
And I was a blooming flower
|
Blossoming from the seed.
|
And I was a blooming flower.
|
Turn my back and--
|
I was a blooming flower
|
Blossoming from the seed.
|
And I was a blooming flower.
|
Turn my back and turn to--
|
Turn my back and turn to--
|
Turn my back and turn to...
|
Weed.
