Weeds

The property owner
Stood on his perfect lawn
He said “It’s come to my attention that
There’s been an infestation
So get the poison out
And get the trimmers running
We’ve got to rid our precious land
Of this invasion that is coming”

Chorus
We’ve decided they are weeds (nah nah)
Weeds (nah nah)
Weeds (nah nah)
We’ve decided they are weeds (nah nah)
Weeds (nah nah)
Weeds (nah nah)

The neighbors gathered round
And you could hear the sound
Of their frustration as they spoke of ways
To stop the infiltration
They said “we must unite
And put our plan in motion
If we don’t they will take over
And leave nothing but erosion”

Chorus

Bridge
And by the riverbank the kids were playing
And while they picked the weeds I heard them saying
“Look at all the pretty flowers that we found today
Aren’t they beautiful? Aren’t they beautiful?”

Chorus (Repeat twice)
