Over the Garden Gate
There’s people out there who don’t really care
About anything even themselves
And then there are such who are caring too much
Who should mind their own business and pray
That the rest of us here who are living in fear
Won’t rise up in anger and weed
This garden of eden that’s simply reseedin’
Without thought or reflection on careful selection
Just plain insurrection in any direction
As the water begins to recede
The garden is going to seed
It’s definitely over fertilized
