<poem> | |||
All fine things come at a cost | |||
My little boy chores are my albatross | |||
This lesson I have learned in time | |||
The harder things in life bring me peace of mind | |||
On our street kids play Vietnam | |||
Noon on Sunday got the call from mom | |||
She said, get home, make it fast | |||
And trim back the grass | |||
So I fought tooth and nail | |||
But tradition prevailed | |||
Everybody’s got somewhere to go | |||
Big ideas, important people they know | |||
Still, everybody’s got to mow the lawn | |||
I’ma tell you a little secret | |||
Used to get my cake for free and eat it | |||
Was a punk, I stole, got sloppy drunk | |||
I even swiped a gun from my old granddad’s trunk | |||
Friends say, “there goes one of the good guys” | |||
Never knowing what I went through to realize | |||
That if you’re like me | |||
Nothing’s for free | |||
No bills for the paying | |||
Be proud of the shame | |||
Everybody’s got somewhere to go | |||
Big ideas, important people they know | |||
Still, everybody’s got to mow the lawn | |||
When the lawn was green | |||
And the grass grew high, | |||
Goodbye summer high | |||
It’s the things that aren’t fun | |||
That need to get done, oh | |||
Now my wife wants me up at 8 | |||
To feed the twins and put the trash at the gate | |||
It’s not about fun or a prize to be won | |||
When you’re through, you’ve begun | |||
Will I ever be done? | |||
Everybody’s got somewhere to go | |||
Big ideas, important people they know | |||
Still, everybody’s got to mow the lawn | |||
Gotta mow the lawn | |||
Oh, I gotta mow the lawn | |||
Everybody’s got to mow the lawn, the lawn | |||
