Things Of Stone And Wood - Wildflowers lyrics

Across this land everybody settled down To a night of fitful dreams And strange apparitions As we tossed and turned we saw ourselves exactly as we are And not surprisingly we found it frightening Hey! Well you don't choose the place or choose the time But history's a slippery slide Be careful of those nasty drops down to the right When you're hit it must seem a pretty good choice For they give all of our malice voice What do we expect if we won't open our arms (Singin' Hey) We're all just earrings to the left of our parents They're all just haircuts to the left of theirs And we all wonder "Why do Nazis grow like wildflowers!" (Hey!) Helen let's ditch the car let's hide We'll through seeds of doubt at pa**ersby They will cross onto our side We'll sing our songs into the night As we cast off all those strange facades We'll see that we're all uniquely scarred By the same hand Beneath the same smile (Singin' Hey) We're all just earrings to the left of our parents They're all just haircuts to the left of theirs And we all wonder "Why do Nazis grow like wildflowers!" Everybody dreams the same visions in the end I know, everybody feels trapped and tired So if you see a strange door to the left Then drop your things and run for it (Singin' Hey) We're all just earrings to the left of our parents They're all just haircuts to the left of theirs And we all wonder "Why do Nazis grow like wildflowers!" "Why do Nazis grow like wildflowers!"
