Nobody wants to work no more
For 15 dollars sweeping floors
When there ain't a line
You gotta find chores to do
Cause the boss has a tizzy
If you don't look busy
Even though you can't afford the rent in this city
When you punch the clock
There's just another job waiting for you
On minimum wage, you can't afford food
Or utility bills but they're still coming due
And there just ain't time to dine at home these days
What if we had soil and midnight oil?
We could soak tea leaves when the water boils
They say to grow where you're planted
But we wasn't handed no garden either ways
So baby I'm gonna find us a plot of land
With a little house to put a family in
And blueberry bushes I'll prune to bloom for you
We'll plant pecan trees up and down the drive
And sugar em up come winter time
Make cakes for dates with friends when they pull through
We're gonna finally get planted and grow on this planet too
Now, there's senators in every state
Seeking new bigotry to legislate
If you can't win a seat, then you gotta cheat to get it done
Yeah this worlds all wrong and we don't belong
But, baby, we're making us a better one
And it ain't just us with a heart full of justice
It's tough but it's catching on
Baby I'm gonna find us a plot of land
With a little house to put a family in
And blueberry bushes I'll prune to bloom for you
We'll plant pecan trees up and down the drive
And sugar em up come winter time
Trace this state with grace before we're through
We're gonna finally get planted and grow on this planet too
