Lyrics
The Downtrodden
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Long ago, when people discovered fire
And thru the snow, people got frozen and tired
All i know, is not that much has changed
Cuz, everyone everyone everyone still complains
As a rule, a man's a fool cuz when it's hot he wants it cool
But, when it's cool he wants it hot, never wanting what he's got
Always wanting what he's not
The grass is always greener, yeah, yeah, yeah
The grass is always greener, oh yeah
That is why i think i
Should supply my own ride thru
This grassy plain
The downtrodden is a phoney trip
Follow your sheep to the edge of the cliff
But, but, it's life in vein
The grass is always greener, yeah, yeah, yeah
The grass is always greener, oh yeah
The other girl is always leaner, oh yea yea yeah
The grass is always
