Pausé - The Mower Lyrics

Searching around, nothing but green
They're packed so close it's all I can see
Black dirt below, blue skies above
Suns shining down to give us some love

Something inside makes us wanna rise
Lifting us up to that light in the sky
A dream we all know, a dream we can't see
A dream were all told is what life should be

Then it comes around as much man as machine
You stand too tall and there he will be
Shaving our heads and keeping us in our place
He'll cut you down and he'll spit in your face

You've gotta bow down when the mower comes around
The only hope left is to keep your head down
Inch out of line or one blade out of place
He'll cut you down for bringing him disgrace
Make no mistake your on the mower's lawn
You're lucky enough to have that parcel you're on
We're such a small part of the mower's plan
Who are we to challenge the machine and the man?

He gives us water to live, nourishment we need
By all accounts he wants us to succeed
But you're growing too fast because you strive to exceed
You better blend in quick before he labels you a weed

My friend it's too late, the mowers come back
Soon as he sees you he stops right in his tracks
Just as I feared, he scorns you, a weed!
Culls you from the ground an embarrassment to his seed

We all bow down when the mower comes around
We've seen what'll happen if we don't keep our heads down
Inch out of line or one blade out of place
He'll kill us where we stand and put fresh seed in our place
There's no room to grow on the mower's lawn
We're lucky enough to have the parcel we're on
We all conform to our master's plan
No one dares to challenge the machine and the man

So heed this warning, stay away if you can
The grass can't be greener while the mower still stands
