Weeds

Whatever happened to getting muddy, smashing things up in the woods and kids getting into mischief in general? If my 9yr old & his buddies are representative, its been replaced by blowing up digital cyborgs on Xbox and watching 30 something Youtube "stars" prattle on while blowing up cyborgs.
Its weird to find yourself wishing your boy got into a little more trouble.Thinking along those lines led to this.. if you listen and figure , nah, just another bluegrass tune, make sure you make it to the Grandpa rap section!

Weeds

some kids are wallflowers
sweet peas and orchids
tell `em they`re nice they`re pretty
everyday to their face

us kids are dandelions
poison ivy skunk cabbage
its true we admire
our own disgrace

come home battered dishevelled tattered
got you baffled jamming tailpipes with crabapples
creeping spies with moss green eyes
we vine and shine through cracks in the dark
do our mud dreads impress we`re not your bright sparks
we are the weeds you`ll know us by our deeds

weeds weeds growing wild
from respectable seeds

we`re the raggabrash chorus
not your choir of angels
fix our hair for Sunday
find sticks and bugs wings

we howl from the hollows
turn your house to a wasteland
climb up to bed
sleep the sleep of blessed things

knock the brains outta words bring the worst to church
like a stone in your shoe we got the measure of you
there`s no foolin rats in a ruin
you`re watching shows `bout sex drugs and money
you`re Tom I`m Jerry not your Little Bunny
we are the weeds you`ll know us by our deeds

weeds weeds growing wild
from respectable seeds
thorns`n thistles that`s our creed
