From April to August
The fields fill in.
Each harvest
They empty out again.
From matress to matress
You wheel and spin
In circles tight as your abdomen.
Do you know what it's like to give
Out assistance that nobody needs?
Do you know what it's like to live
Surrounded by weeds? From weakness to weakness
From strength to strength.
To keep this
I'd go to any length.
From Haven to Gary(?)
From hole to town
I'll carry
Each burden you throw down.
Do you know what it's like to throw
Out your love like a handful of seeds?
Do you know what it's like to live
Surrounded by weeds This country, where some must fail—
You grew straighter while I stayed frail.
And bitterness can erode the soul
So wipe my name of that honour role;
Same old flag up a new flag pole
In the square where the town was founded...
Have you ever been surrounded?
As developer's dreams turn real
With a pen and a fistful of deeds
Do you know what it's like to feel
Surrounded by weeds? From paycheck to paycheck
The way we live
While they check
How good our credit is
From castles to condos
We'll build your dreams
They want those
Unlikely as it seems.
