Keep Off the Grass

It keeps on getting harder to keep on keeping on

With everybody screaming orders in my ear

I wanna be my own man, I'd love to walk alone

But every time I leave my home this is what I hear

Keep you nose clean

Your head above water

Keep your feet on the ground

Keep your hands off my daughter

Keep your back to the wind

Keep your thoughts to yourself

Keep an eye on the clock

Keep an eye on your health

I wish they'd just let me keep to myself

And I'd do fine on my own

They say keep up with the times, keep up with the Jones

Keep up with the rest of your class

So I keep an open mind in this close minded world

That's always telling me to keep off the grass

Keep you nose clean

Your head above water

Keep your feet on the ground

Keep your hands off my daughter

Keep your back to the wind

Keep your thoughts to yourself

Keep an eye on the clock

Keep an eye on your health

I wish they'd just let me keep to myself

And I'd do fine on my own

Keep you nose clean

Your head above water

Keep your feet on the ground

Keep your hands off my daughter

Keep your back to the wind

Keep your thoughts to yourself

Keep an eye on the clock

Keep an eye on your health

I wish they'd just let me keep to myself

And I'd do fine on my own

Keep an open mind

It's a closed minded world

Always telling me to keep off the grass
