Plastic Surreal Suburbia

Been landscaping crew cuts
Mowing down yards constant
Gravel in its place, hedges and drapes
All for you to live accordingly
In the right scheme
Where wildness is tamed down
Where citizenship, not so profound

So we can go on our way
Planting seeds for the future
Seeding children with identity
Posing God on marble balconies

Any upset to the balance
Police find the scent
Guard dogs and lawn gnomes
Our plastic surreal american lives
