Lyrics
(ExP)
So easy to think the grass is greener/
I wish that I could see the beauty in every second that passes, don’t need sadness either/
Cos when I have a fever....or I feel under the weather/
I forget what it feels like to be better and at peace the/
Problem is I don’t notice just breathing comfortably/
Like life doesn’t mean enough to me,
And this seems utterly/
Detrimental to me enjoying the short time/
I was gifted on this planet before it absorbs my/
Carbon, to feed the finite cycle we call life/
We all die, it’s all right, just pour wine/
Your eyes are the tour guide of a thing of beauty/
So easy to get wrapped up in images and duty/
Most of what the government tells you is inaccurate/
Get a lungful of air before they start charging tax on it/
The chairman of Nestle considers water a commodity/
Buys up natural springs in areas stricken with poverty/
So honestly I’d not be surprised with a charge on oxygen/
...How much does owning an atom of carbon cost again?/
The people in power will always work to fill their pockets up/
Even when we vote them in so they can give us options, but/
Don’t play the game just be the change you want to see/
As long as you’re not hurting anyone F the economy/
To often we look at others and think, "what’s wrong with me?"/
But if we’re all thinking the same thing, that’s just comedy//
(Chorus)
You want your grass to be as green as it can (I'll say)
You need the rain feeding your plants/ (I'll say)
We're giving every season a chance/ (I'll say)
Even if it's freezing, there's a breeze and it's damp//
(JND)
The turf might seem a richer shade of emerald there /
But before you make the switch well you better beware /
Can we all admit to thinking that our life is unfair? /
When there's doubt in the air, don't change your route or despair /
Cos it usually isn't, you should be using your wisdom /
Instead of fuelling the negative mood, forever pursuing a victim /
One clue's in the planning, the other is through some persistence /
Clever improving your vision, then you'll be moving the mission / (eh?)
Not tryna say summat you won't know /
You've probably been through it with so-an-so /
Cos life's like a ride on a pogo, unwinding a yo-yo /
Sublime when it's going right, wrong and it's 'oh no!' /
But keep smiling cos while you're still breathing /
And while your heart's beating, the sun is gonna shine for you /
And that's cheesy but that's how I'm feeling /
The yin and yang's needed, rainy days don't make me blue //
(Chorus)
You want your grass to be as green as it can (I'll say)
You need the rain feeding your plants/ (I'll say)
We're giving every season a chance/ (I'll say)
Even if it's freezing, there's a breeze and it's damp//
(Addverse)
Well I've been living on the side of thinkin life is a grind, I'm sick of the 9-5 digging of this grave in my mind,/
I'm ready to flip back the switch and, reboot my hard-drive and activate the present like it's gift wrapped and hard wired,/
They tried to tell me that I can't escape the virus, it's inside us,
and if I break the code
then Id get fired, so I,/
Did it anyway, made the corporate enemy,
And everyday I'm getting better letting off this energy,/
I set it free, you can forget your methodology, I think you'll find you're messing with my recipe and honestly,/
I'd rather skip your policy, politics and office speak, and feel the love cos the fear's attacking the honesty,/
The fact alone that we are star dust and conscious of it, shines a light on what I see so I can spot the monsters on it,/
Cos the matter is this, once an atom exists, it never disappears it stays in the mix,/
So Im gonna live forever if the ether permits, I could be anything from weather to an elephant's hips,/
It's one hell of a trip,
To think that anything is possible,
Elements repeat it's mathematically probable,/
No matter what the obstacle,
Life still happens, if the sun still shines then it lights up the patterns,/
As it's intricately balanced while its spinning on its axis, amazingly placed in a space with no practice,/ (it's life)//
