bad seed, clouds, 2010

listen close
we need to talk low
look around
you need to know

in the garden
it is starting to grow
it is coming up
like a rose
I would love
to miss the show

see the fire glow
see the flower grow
see the fire glow
see the flower grow

the bad seed
lies as his ways and means
changes the message to suit the need
steals from from us every single day
even from your poor grammie

listen close
we need to talk low
look around
you need to know

what had eden been
beaten by greed
it will be so sad
to see the end
as we race
at full speed

see the fire glow
see the flower grow
see the fire glow
see the flower grow

the bad seed
tortures in the name of fear
below the law it would appear
betrays the agent of his country
shoots his friend while they're hunting

the bad seed
throws his armies into war
to settle an old pathetic score
with all he cares for safe at home
a chickenhawk with a silver spoon
