Shellee Coley Green lyrics

The grass is always brown here
Cause the sprinkler system's broke
And nothing ever grows here
Except the weeds that could make you choke

I can see through the cracks in your fence
And I know you've got a lot of green
If you'd just share your secret with me
Then life would really be a dream

Oh, green

I've always wanted flowers like yours
And a garden full of butterflies
But all we've got are the bees over here
And the pollen that will sting your eyes

I can see through the cracks in your fence
And I know you've got a lot of green
If you'd just share your secret with me
Then life would really be a breeze


Oh, green
Oh, I want your green

Well yesterday I got sick of it
So I came and knocked down your fence
I stood there with my jaw on the ground
Cause suddenly it all made sense

Your grass was just as brown as mine
And the plastic flowers had bees
Butterflies were painted all over the walls
It was the Astroturf that was so

Green
Oh, I want your green
Don't we all want green
We all want green
