Invasive Species LyricsThe weeds are growing out front as (Out front as)
The mail carrier from USPS
Puts a bill in the mailbox (In my mailbox)
I know because I hear the fence
Oh, I hear the fence
Oh, I hear the fence
They're growing up through the grate (Up through the gate)
Of the old storm drain
Oh, ain't it great (Oh, ain't it great)
To live in New York State?
The days worked just making rent (Just making rent)
Adding up to a life well spent
Build the set and paint the dirt (And paint the dirt)
These bougie gigs are heaven-sent
Oh, we make the wheels go 'round
For the ones who live uptown
Calls are coming in all the time (In all the time)
Just asking to buy what isn't mine
We dig the trash out of the yard (Out of the yard)
To send it somewhere out of mind
No one used to own this place (To own this place)
Maple Street didn't have that name
Maple trees didn't have that name (Didn't have that name)
American dreams didn't have that name
I live in New York City
In the twenty-first century
With the spotted lanternflies
And the other invasive species
The weeds are growing out front as (Out front as)
The mail carrier from USPS
Puts a bill in the mailbox (In my mailbox)
I know because I hear the fence
