growing nothing but some grass

just to work all day for some food

we built a whole society

just for everyone to be in a bad mood

going nowhere, - nowhere fast

just to work all day for this car

we connected the whole world

but i'll never go very far

growing nothing but some grass

just to cut it every sunday

we built a whole society

that starts its week on monday

nothing ever really lasts

even time has an end

but for as long as i shall live

the length of my grass will not offend

i'm a good person they say

i mow my grass a certain way

i wear these clothes and do these things

every single freaking day

i'm a good person they say

i comb my hair a special way

i go to work and then i cry

every single freaking day

growing nothing but some grass

where it don't even belong

i'm such a contradiction

and so is my front lawn

they say the grass is greener

over there on the other side

but i've been over there before

and all those people lied

i'm a good person they say

i mow my grass a certain way

i wear these clothes and do these things

every single freaking day

i'm a good person they say

i comb my hair a special way

i go to work and then i cry

every single freaking day
