Plot of Land

Nobody wants to work no more

For fifteen dollars sweeping floors

When there ain't a line you gotta find chores to do

'Cause the boss has a tizzy if you don't look busy

Even though you can't afford the rent in this city

When you punch the clock

There's just another job waiting for you

On minimum wage, you can't afford food

Or utility bills, but they're still coming due

And there just ain't time to dine at home these days

What if we had soil and midnight oil?

We could soak tea leaves when the water boils

They say to grow where you're planted

But we wasn't handed no garden either ways

So, baby, I'm gonna find us a plot of land

With a little house to put a family in

Blueberry bushes I'll prune to bloom for you

We'll plant pecan trees up and down the drive

Sugar 'em up come winter time

Make cakes for dates with friends when they pull through

We're gonna finally get planted and grow on this planet too

Now, there's senators in every state

Seeking new bigotry to legislate

If you can't win a seat, then you gotta cheat to get it done

Yeah, this world's all wrong and we don't belong

But, baby, we're making us a better one

And it ain't just us with a heart full of justice

It's tough but it's catching on

Baby, I'm gonna find us a plot of land

With a little house to put a family in

Blueberry bushes I'll prune to bloom for you

We'll plant pecan trees up and down the drive

Sugar 'em up come winter time

Trace this state with grace before we're through

We're gonna finally get planted and grow on this planet too
