Pokeweed

The weeds are growing, propagating; devouring my lawn
They won't stop invading my yard 'til the grass is gone
I'm beginning to suspect that they've devised a plan
To plant a seed inside my brain and make me one of them

Armed to the teeth We've sharpened our teeth
They're out for blood Blood guts and gore
They're stalking me Most definitely
And I can't sleep Better not blink
The steady clink of porcelain sheets
Interrupting my counting of sheep
I'll go insane before we ever see the dawn

The moles and gophers have aligned themselves now with the weeds
They sent a messenger to meet me absent words of peace
"Surrender before daybreak and we may just spare your lives
If you join our army and denounce all herbicides

Armed to the teeth We've sharpened our teeth
They're out for blood Blood guts and gore
They're stalking me Most definitely
And I can't sleep Better not blink
The steady clink of porcelain sheets
Interrupting my counting of sheep
I'll go insane before we ever see the dawn

The tides have changed, we've lost the war, The weeds now reign supreme
Men and women subjugated to our leafy King
We worship at the altar of the dandelion Queen
Give up hope. All is lost, none can hear you scream
