Get a Lawn

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 it's 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 it's 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
