Blades of Grass
I wish I had something to be more proud of
I wish that I could raise my voice a little louder
Stand up straight
Like the people I hate
Stand up tall
But I keep laying down empty as a hall
Cause lately
I've been bent over
Like blades of grass
Bent over at the knees (like blades of grass)
Rolled over by a gentle breeze (like blades of grass)
Mowed over by an old machine (like blades of grass)
Rolled over by a gentle breeze (like blades of grass)
Like blades of grass
I'm weak minded I always knew
I never doubted
I look to her I look to you
To get me out
And live life straight even if for a day
Stand up tall but I keep staring out
Blankly as a wall
Cause lately
I've been bent over
Like blades of grass
Bent over at the knees (like blades of grass)
Rolled over by a gentle breeze (like blades of grass)
Mown over by an old machine (like blades of grass)
Blowed over by a gentle breeze (like blades of grass)
Like blades of grass
Like blades of grass
Like blades of grass
Like blades of grass
And I was on my knees
You always wait for me
I
Like blades of grass
Like blades of grass
I'm always on my knees
You always wait for me (I wasn't strong enough)
And every way
I know he'll say I wasn't strong enough
You always wait for me
I wasn't strong enough
Say it
I wish that I could raise my voice a little louder
Stand up straight
Like the people I hate
Stand up tall
But I keep laying down empty as a hall
Cause lately
I've been bent over
Like blades of grass
Bent over at the knees (like blades of grass)
Rolled over by a gentle breeze (like blades of grass)
Mowed over by an old machine (like blades of grass)
Rolled over by a gentle breeze (like blades of grass)
Like blades of grass
I'm weak minded I always knew
I never doubted
I look to her I look to you
To get me out
And live life straight even if for a day
Stand up tall but I keep staring out
Blankly as a wall
Cause lately
I've been bent over
Like blades of grass
Bent over at the knees (like blades of grass)
Rolled over by a gentle breeze (like blades of grass)
Mown over by an old machine (like blades of grass)
Blowed over by a gentle breeze (like blades of grass)
Like blades of grass
Like blades of grass
Like blades of grass
Like blades of grass
And I was on my knees
You always wait for me
I
Like blades of grass
Like blades of grass
I'm always on my knees
You always wait for me (I wasn't strong enough)
And every way
I know he'll say I wasn't strong enough
You always wait for me
I wasn't strong enough
Say it
