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
