"Dandelion" by Tracy Bonham



All my life I thought I was the one to save the world,

It would come easy.

Now I'm old enough to sit around and piss and moan instead.



Save a tree and I will gladly admire its beauty,

10 to 12 inches.

Don't expect that I will get out of my chair to see it grow.



And I was a blooming flower

Blossoming from the seed.

And I was a blooming flower.

Turn my back and turn to...

Weed.



Those are people with them votes and all them hippie thoughts.

They do it better.

If I got involved I'd only get in everybody's way.



Shine my shoe and I won't say a thing behind your back.

Yeah, we're all brothers.

Don't expect that I will share my plate when your ribs start to show.



And I was a blooming flower

Blossoming from the seed.

And I was a blooming flower.

Turn my back and turn to...



Dandelion, Dandelion

Souls of you and me.

How can you smell so bad but look so pretty?



And I was a blooming flower

Blossoming from the seed.

And I was a blooming flower.

Turn my back and--

I was a blooming flower

Blossoming from the seed.

And I was a blooming flower.

Turn my back and turn to--

Turn my back and turn to--

Turn my back and turn to...

Weed.
