OFF TOPIC - Blade Of Grass lyrics

rate me

I am a blade of grass

One of many

My brothers are countless

And so are my enemies

I grew from seed

I am a blade of grass

One of many

My brothers come in many types

From many countries

But we all grow from seed

Some are born in cultures

A lawn in the suburbs

Fed and protected by the overlord

With the jean shorts and the fertilizer

They are strong and safe together

But when they grow up tall

Like individuals

Their god cuts them all

Til they are beautiful

All the same, all pawns in a larger game

I've heard of grass

My distant brothers

Who must fight to survive on their own

They know not

Of the lawnmower

They are savage

Their quality of life is much harder

If only they'd realize

They could be saved

If it wasn't for our god

We would fear them

Who would save us from savages?

Block our sun and drink our water

If they could

Bow down now and worship the lawnmower

He controls your fate

You are in his domain

He will save you from the evils of the world

As soon as you fall in line

I am a blade of grass

Compassionate

I want to save all my brothers

Systematically

To preserve the peace

Other blades of grass

My brothers

Who weren't pretty in the eyes of our god

Tried to unite with our lawn

In our sod

But our god

Who we all give our lives to

Poisoned our brothers

I watched them burn in the sun

And fall to their deaths

So I left the lawn

Into the wilderness

And I fear drought and insects and weeds

But I will always be free

With no lawnmower controlling me

I am a blade of grass

One of many

How long until the lawnmower finds me?

And what I can do about it when he does?

I am no match, a single blade of grass

Bow down now and worship the lawnmower

But when they grow up tall

He controls your fate

Like individuals

You are in his domain

Their God cuts them all, til they are beautiful

He will save you from the evils of the world

All The same, all pawns in a larger game

As soon as you fall in line
