Lyrics
This nameless potted specimen
Appears about to die
Perhaps the wilted browning stem
Thank God it cannot cry
Is starving for a richer soil
Or just a larger pot
A plant needs little room to toil
But even less to rot
Perhaps the shriveled leaves need light
Uncut by mini-blinds
And air that's not conditioned quite
So centrally by minds
Averse to nature's crude extremes
The spice of a plant's life
And what bird's song like human screams
Cuts through roots like a knife
Don't wanna be
Ain't gonna be
Don't wanna be
I'll never be a house plant
Don't wanna be wanna be
Ain't gonna be
I'll never be never be
I'll never be a house plant
Perhaps the shriveled leaves need light
Uncut by mini-blinds
And air that's not conditioned quite
So centrally by minds
Averse to nature's crude extremes
The spice of a plant's life
And what bird's song like human screams
Cuts through roots like a knife
Don't wanna be
Ain't gonna be
Don't wanna be
I'll never be a house plant
Don't wanna be wanna be
Ain't gonna be
I'll never be never be
I'll never be a house plant
Don't wanna be wanna be
Ain't gonna be
I'll never be never be
I'll never be a house plant
