The Lawn Must Get Mowed
The war goes poorly
But the lawn must get mowed
The dollar is tanking
But the lawn must get mowed
I get a bit winded
Pushing round that old load
But so long as it's growing
The lawn must get mowed
The neighbors are yelling
The bread has got mold
The checks have stopped coming
The radiator's cold
Woke up again coughing
I just can't kick this cold
But I see it's still growing
So the lawn must get mowed
And I blame the Sun
And I blame the rain
I blame the spike in my back pain
I blame other drivers
I blame kids today
I blame that dog that died last may
The blade's worn and rusted
But the lawn must get mowed
The gas tank is empty
But the lawn must get mowed
Yeah, maybe it's cancer
Maybe I'm just old
But if it's still growing
Then the lawn must get mowed
A Grama Precisa Ser Cortada
A guerra vai mal
Mas a grama precisa ser cortada
O dólar tá caindo
Mas a grama precisa ser cortada
Fico um pouco cansado
Empurrando aquele peso antigo
Mas enquanto tá crescendo
A grama precisa ser cortada
Os vizinhos tão gritando
O pão tá mofado
Os cheques pararam de vir
O radiador tá frio
Acordei tossindo de novo
Não consigo me livrar desse resfriado
Mas vejo que ainda tá crescendo
Então a grama precisa ser cortada
E eu culpo o Sol
E eu culpo a chuva
Culpo a dor nas costas que aumentou
Culpo os motoristas
Culpo as crianças de hoje
Culpo aquele cachorro que morreu em maio passado
A lâmina tá gasta e enferrujada
Mas a grama precisa ser cortada
O tanque de gasolina tá vazio
Mas a grama precisa ser cortada
É, talvez seja câncer
Talvez eu só esteja velho
Mas se ainda tá crescendo
Então a grama precisa ser cortada
