Listen to the Story & The Song

Bryi's Back Yard full of Astroturf. "Your grass was just as brown as mine..."

 Lyrics

The grass is always brown here / Cause the sprinkler system’s broke / And nothing ever grows here / Except the weeds that could make you choke // I can see through the cracks in your fence / And I know you’ve got a lot of green / If you’d just share your secret with me / Then life would really be a dream // Oh, green // I’ve always wanted flowers like yours / And a garden full of butterflies / But all we’ve got are the bees over here / And the pollen that will sting your eyes // I can see through the cracks in your fence / And I know you’ve got a lot of green / If you’d just share your secret with me / Then life would really be a breeze // Oh, green / Oh, I want your green // Well yesterday I got sick of it / So I came and knocked down your fence / I stood there with my jaw on the ground / Cause suddenly it all made sense // Your grass was just as brown as mine / And the plastic flowers had bees / Butterflies were painted all over the walls / It was the Astroturf that was so // Green / Oh, I want your green / Don’t we all want green / We all want green
 

Inspiration

For the Bryi’s back yard full of Astroturf. And the opportunity to do a part-time job where I got to be jealous of people with more “green” than me and then to get to be reminded that their “Astroturf” gets pooped on too.
