Weeds Lyrics

weeds don't need you
weeds don't need me
they'll strangle your flowers
they'll grow into trees
cracks are like weeds
they need nothing to grow
they'll tear into canyons
and swallow you whole
rust is determined to corrupt and creep
a rotting infection that works while you sleep
but the house needs paint
and the car needs an oil change
the kids need breakfast
and your wife needs a kiss
that spill on the carpet
better get it out before it stains
the house needs breakfast and your car needs a kiss

fear needs no coaxing or encouragement
it feeds on itself, it's self-sufficient
darkness is complete, it is what it takes
it sucks and it swallows
it smothers and breaks
anger's a fire no one needs to stoke
consumes like a cancer
it spills all you choke

but the house needs paint
and the car needs an oil change
the kids need breakfast
and your wife needs a kiss
that spill on the carpet
better get it out before it stains
the house needs breakfast
and the car needs a kiss

unforgiveness
leaves scars you can't trace
furrows and worry
the sweet smile neglected
a grimace will replace

cause the house needs paint
and the car needs an oil change
the kids need breakfast
and your wife needs a kiss
that spill on the carpet
better get it out before it stains
the house needs breakfast
and your car needs a kiss
the kids need paint
and your wife needs an oil change
the kids need paint
and your wife needs an oil change
the kids need paint
and your wife needs an oil change
the kids need paint
and your wife needs an oil change
the house needs breakfast
and your car needs a kiss
