Lyrics:
With the sunlight bound to let you down.
And you stand there like you're planted in the ground.
You've got no reason to be anything, but alive.
So you cut your grass until the day you die.
You do what everybody else does.
You do what other people say.
And you've got your personality screwed on wrong.
Born to keep your lawn from growing way too long.
Any season, any reason you'll be out.
Haven't stopped to wonder what your life's about.
You do what everybody else does.
You do what other people say, from day to day.
You think God loves you,
You believe it's true.
If there's no Eden, what are you gonna do?
Now you're standing, feel like screaming, all your plans have gone to seed.
From where I'm standing, I can see that this is all you'll ever be.
And you're out there, both hands bleeding.
Worked your fingers to the bone.
From where I'm standing, I can see them, pretty gardens in a row.
