Gardener's Garden

We're the wardens and the prisoners
Quite unsure of which to play
The sunlight streaming through our window
Yet we keep ourselves in chains
We're the sculptures and the sculptors
Tell me who is sculpting who
The vision shines in all its glory
But it's much too hard to do
We're the garden and the gardener
Tell me which seeds should I sow
The gardener slaves to grow the garden
The garden helps the gardener grow
We're the victors and the fallen
The raging battle never ends
We were once the fearless soldiers
Now it's clear that no one wins
We're the builders and destruction
Tearing down to build again
Priorities weighed by dollar value
Nature pays the price for men
We're the villains and the victims
Sadomasochists and bleeding hearts
The bravest brave all turn to cowards
When the senseless killing starts

We're the garden and the gardener
Tell me which seeds should I sow
The gardener slaves to grow the garden
The garden helps the gardener grow
