Jason Webley - Back The Garden lyrics

Old Jack, he had a sack of them magic beans This garden's been sown for a long, long time Now everywhere you look you see a pillar of green And the reaper's just waiting 'till we're ripe on the vine A bright red apple led us into sin The devil's been cooking for a long, long time So it could be an eggplant to lead us back again That sounds just fine We're going back to the garden and out of the night Saw a fiery head of broccoli in a dream There'll be artichokes and rutabagas, collard greens and sweet potatoes Reaching from the earth to push us into the light Gonna carve a jack-o-lantern, hang the garlic high This crop's been coming for a long, long time Flaming red peppers will rain down from the sky And your tap water will turn into okra slime There will come a day you step out of the house See a thousand armed soldiers with potatoes in their mouth Everyone's damned and everyone's saved With a parsley garnish on every grave We're going back to the garden and out of the night Saw a fiery head of broccoli in a dream There'll be artichokes and rutabagas, collard greens and sweet potatoes Reaching from the earth to push us into the light My friends, we are standing at the dawn of a new era The United League of Vegetation has just unanimously approved the new legislation Which places complete restriction on all forms of human migration Anyone caught moving faster than a turnip will be shot Now, I know what you're all thinking "What am I going to do with myself? I've got to go pick up the kids! There's a turkey in the oven!" Relax, don't panic, this isn't so bad You've just got to calm down Now close your eyes and imagine a bright red pulsing orb just in front of your forehead Can you see it? Good. Can you feel it? I said can you feel it? Can you feel the beet? Can you feel the beet? I can feel the beet Can you feel the beet? Can you feel the beet? Can you feel the beet? I can feel the beet Can you feel the beet? Oh, forget about your taxes and your student loans This garden's pesticide-free, organically grown Listen to your roots, they'll tell you what's real This world is an onion, all center, all peel We're going back to the garden and out of the night Saw a fiery head of broccoli in a dream There'll be artichokes and rutabagas, collard greens and sweet potatoes Reaching from the earth to push us into the light From the heavens comes a hail of cabbage, cauliflower and kale They're reaching from the earth to push us into the light That's right, they're reaching from the earth to push us into the light
