COOKIE CUTTER HOUSES / SET ALL IN A ROW
FRESHLY MOWN LAWNS / FERTILIZED TO GROW
GOD FORBID A DANDELION / EVER SHOW ITS FACE
BETTER SPRAY IT QUICK / BEFORE IT TAKES OVER THE PLACE

SPRINKLERS ON A TIMER / KEEPS IT LOOKIN GREEN
ARSENAL OF CHEMICALS / MAKES IT STAY PRISTINE
SHRUBS ARE ORNAMENTAL / WORTHLESS AS CAN BE
TRIMMED UP OH SO PRETTY / LINES ARE CUT SO CLEAN

YOUR MANICURED GENTRIFIED LAWN / IT DON’T APPEAL TO ME
I’D RATHED BUILD A HOME FOR THE BIRDS AND BEES
YOUR MANICURED GENTRIFIED LAWN / IS A WASTED OPPORTUNITY
IT DON’T DO A THING FOR ECOLOGY
IT’S A SHAME TO SEE

WALKIN’ THROUGH YOUR YARD / IT’S SILENT AS A TOMB
NO INSECTS BUZZIN’ / BIRDS WHISTLIN’ A TUNE
GROUND FEELS LIKE PLASTIC WRAP / UNDER MY BARE FEET
SEEMS A BIT LIKE ASTROTURF / BUT HEY IT LOOKS SO NEAT

YOUR MANICURED GENTRIFIED LAWN / DON’T APPEAL TO ME
I’D RATHED BUILD A HOME FOR THE BIRDS AND BEES
YOUR MANICURED GENTRIFIED LAWN / IS A WASTED OPPORTUNITY
IT DON’T DO A THING FOR ECOLOGY
IT’S A SHAME TO SEE

WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR YARD / YOU MIGHT SEE A MESS
IT’S A BIT OF A BRAMBLE I CONFESS
BUT ALL OF MOTHER NATURE IS WELCOMED AT OUR DOOR
AND I THINK THAT’S WHAT LAWNS ARE USEFUL FOR

YOUR MANICURED GENTRIFIED LAWN / IT MIGHT HAVE SOME CURB APPEAL
BUT I’D RATHER BUILD A HOME FOR THE BIRDS AND BEES
YOUR MANICURED GENTRIFIED LAWN / ITS A WASTED OPPORTUNITY
IT DON’T DO A THING FOR ECOLOGY
IT’S A SHAME TO SEE

IT’S A SHAME TO SEE
