Well Watered Lawn Lyrics

I walk the block this July morning

I catch the 7:10 Express

I'll do the same thing come tomorrow

This is what I call my life I guess

Sometimes... I sneak a look around me

Sometimes... I'm afraid of what I see

Bouncing in a bus with all these faces

Thinking about my life and how it's supposed to be

And I wake up to the sound

Of a sprinkler on my lawn

And I pack my lunch up everyday

Go to work and earn my pay

I don't listen to the voice that says run away and be gone

From my well watered lawn

I bet everyone here's a different person

Standing in their backyard sipping something with their friends

Taking out their shiny dreams for each other

Sharing their somedays and their happy ends

Sometimes... I sneak a look around me

Sometimes... I'm afraid of what I see

Bouncing in a bus that we call living

On a freeway to somewhere that's anything but free

And I wake up to the sound

Of a sprinkler on my lawn

And I pack my lunch up everyday

Go to work and earn my pay

I don't listen to the voice that says run away and be gone

From my well watered lawn

I watch the yards go flying by me

Some of them look so dead and brown

Makes me wonder why I care about green lawns

Why I'm putting so much nitrogen down

Sometimes... I sneak a look inside me

Sometimes... I'm afraid of what I see

A thirsty life waiting for the water

Nothing but brown where my green grass used to be

And I wake up to the sound

Of a sprinkler on my lawn

And I pack my lunch up everyday

Go to work and earn my pay

I don't listen to the voice that says run away and be gone

From my well watered lawn
