(ExP) 
So easy to think the grass is greener/ 
I wish that I could see the beauty in every second that passes, don’t need sadness either/ 
Cos when I have a fever...or I feel under the weather/ 
I forget what it feels like to be better and at peace the/ 
Problem is I don’t notice just breathing comfortably/ 
Like life doesn’t mean enough to me/ 
And this seems utterly/ 
Detrimental to me enjoying the short time/ 
I was gifted on this planet before it absorbs my/ 
Carbon, to feed the finite cycle we call life/ 
We all die, it’s all right, just pour wine/ 
Your eyes are the tour guide of a thing of beauty/ 
So easy to get wrapped up in images and duty/ 
Most of what the government tells you is inaccurate/ 
Get a lungful of air before they start charging tax on it/ 
The chairman of Nestlé considers water a commodity/ 
Buys up natural springs in areas stricken with poverty/ 
So honestly I’d not be surprised with a charge on oxygen/ 
...How much does owning an atom of carbon cost again?/ 
The people in power will always work to fill their pockets up/ 
Even when we vote them in, so they can give us options, but/ 
Don’t play the game just be the change you want to see/ 
As long as you’re not hurting anyone, eff the economy/ 
Too often we look at others and think, "what’s wrong with me?"/ 
But if we’re all thinking the same thing, that’s just comedy// 

(Chorus x2) 
You want your grass to be as green as it can (I'll say) 
You need the rain feeding your plants/ (I'll say) 
We're giving every season a chance/ (I'll say) 
Even when it's freezing, there's a breeze and it's damp// 

(JND) 
The turf might seem a richer shade of emerald there/ 
But before you make the switch well you better beware/ 
Can we all admit to thinking that our life is unfair?/ 
When there's doubt in the air, don't change your route or despair/ 
Cos it usually isn't, you should be using your wisdom/ 
Instead of fuelling the negative mood, forever pursuing a victim/ 
One clue's in the planning, the other is through some persistence/ 
Clever improving your vision, then you'll be moving the mission/ (eh?) 
Not tryna say summat you won't know/ 
You've probably been through it with so-an-so/ 
Cos life's like a ride on a pogo, unwinding a yo-yo/ 
Sublime when it's going right, wrong and it's 'oh no!'/ 
Keep smiling cos while you're still breathing/ 
And while your heart's beating, the sun is gonna shine for you/ 
And that's cheesy but that's how I'm feeling/ 
The yin and yang's needed, rainy days don't make me blue// 

(Chorus x2) 
You want your grass to be as green as it can (I'll say) 
You need the rain feeding your plants/ (I'll say) 
We're giving every season a chance/ (I'll say) 
Even when it's freezing, there's a breeze and it's damp// 

(Addverse) 
Well I've been living on the side of thinkin’ life is a grind/
I'm sick of the 9 to 5 digging of this grave in my mind/ 
I'm ready to flip back the switch and, reboot my hard-drive/
And activate the present like it's gift wrapped and hard-wired/ 
They tried to tell me that I can't escape the virus, it's inside us/ 
And if I break the code then I’d get fired, so I/ 
Did it anyway, made a corporate enemy/
And everyday I'm getting better letting off this energy/ 
I set it free, you can forget your methodology/
I think you'll find you're messing with my recipe and honestly/ 
I'd rather skip your policy, politics and office speak/
And feel the love cos the fear's attacking the honesty/ 
The fact alone that we are star dust and conscious of it/
Shines a light on what I see so I can spot the monsters on it/ 
Cos the matter is this, once an atom exists, it never disappears it stays in the mix/ 
So I’m gonna live forever if the ether permits/
I could be anything from weather to an elephant's hips/ 
It's one hell of a trip to think that anything is possible/ 
Elements repeat it's mathematically probable/ 
No matter what the obstacle, life still happens/
If the sun still shines then it lights up the patterns/ 
And it's intricately balanced while its spinning on its axis/
Amazingly placed in a space with no practice/ (it's life)// 

(Chorus x2) 
You want your grass to be as green as it can (I'll say) 
You need the rain feeding your plants/ (I'll say) 
We're giving every season a chance/ (I'll say) 
Even when it's freezing, there's a breeze and it's damp//
