  • I stare at the lawn, it's Wednesday morning
    It needs a cut but I leave it growing
    All different sizes and all shades of green
    Slashing it down just seems kind of mean

    In a way it's a a shame you get a way
    Thinking it's just a game
    Who am I to deny myself a pawn for you to use?
    At the end of the day it's a pain that I keep seeing your name
    But I'm sure it's a bore being you

    I don't know quite who I am, oh but man I am trying
    I make mistakes until I get it right
    An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye
    I don't agree with that, why can't we just talk nice?

    Oh! The calamity, I wanna go to sleep for an eternity
    Who am I to deny myself a pawn?
    Oh! The humanity I wanna disappear into obscurity
    But I'm sure it's a bore being you

    I don't know quite who I am, oh but man I am trying
    I make mistakes until I get it right
    An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye
    I used to hate myself but now I think I'm alright

    I don't know quite who I am, oh but man I am trying
    I make mistakes until I get it right
    An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye
    I dreamed I stabbed you with a coat hanger wire Writer/s: Courtney Barnett
