lyrics

TREATED LIKE GRASS

I wouldn’t wait, I wouldn’t want to go
I wouldn’t save the roach
I wouldn’t look, I wouldn’t search for gold
I wouldn’t sound so bold

If only I knew you would watch my way,
I’d rearrange the play
If only I knew you’d keep me blind
I wouldn’t have walked the line

Treated like grass

Although I’m doing everything I can to satisfy the man
Although I’m speeding up on every bend, I just can’t see no end

If only I knew this a while ago
If I had noticed it before
I wouldn’t wait, I wouldn’t want the prize
How I’ve been hypnotized

And treated like grass
Treated like grass
