I am a blade of gra** One of many My brothers are countless And so are my enemies I grew from seed I am a blade of gra** 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 gra** 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 gra** Compa**ionate I want to save all my brothers Systematically To preserve the peace Other blades of gra** 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 d**hs 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 gra** 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 gra** 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
