Keep off the Grass

There used to be a time that my Momma would say
Stick to the rules and you'll be okay
Always say please, make sure you give thanks
I never wanted any part of that

I see so many people that don't know what they got
Think they've bought it all now they've got their lot
They got their perfect house with the white picket fence
Yard as green as it gets

With a sign sayin' keep off the grass
I say to hell with that
Ain't nobody gonna tell me when or where I can stand
I've spent my days being told what to do
What to wear what to say, how to think
Well I think its time for a change

I've come a long way since way back when
I couldn't see past my next weekend
I've been so many places that I don't belong
that's why I'm here singing this song

There was a sign sayin' keep off the grass
I say to hell with that
Ain't nobody gonna tell me when or where I can stand
I've spent my days being told what to do
What to wear what to say, how to think
Well I think its time for a change

Yeah

When you look at me and think to yourself
Think about how you look yourself
Don't be surprised if what you find
Ain't what you thought was there

C'mon now

If theres a sign sayin' keep off the grass
Just say to hell with that
Ain't nobody gonna tell you when or where you can stand
Don't spend your days being told what to do
These days are for you
Theres gotta be room for change
Theres gotta be room for change
