lyrics

Dragged along like nothing's wrong
He's just another grubby toy
Won't be long before he's gone
He's just another noise to annoy

The front yard's now a jungle
Of debris and despair
And the beautiful blue tree, now grey
Has only plastic bags to bare

At five and six they learnt new tricks
To make their papa proud
Their innocence ain't worth a cent now
Not where they are bound

The front yard's getting crowded
A shrouded gloomy tomb
And the beautiful blue tree now leans
A kebab its only bloom

And what I think's important
You don't think's important
What I think is beautiful
You don't even see
So what if we are different
We still breath the same air
If I can't understand you and you don't seem to care

A frown already 'pon her brow
The boys they hover near
History will repeat itself
If helped along by fear

The front yard's now a junkyard
See nature's lost this race
And the beautiful blue tree's now gone
But there's a fridge there in its place!
