Weeds

If my vegetables would grow like weeds
I wouldn't have to sow these seeds
Wouldn't have to take such care
I'd find my bounty everywhere
I wouldn't fret about the lack of bees
If my vegetables would grow like weeds

If my big ideas would just take root
I'd buy myself a fancy suit
Travel all around the earth
Live the life, for what that's worth
I'd be generous with the loot
If my big ideas would just take root

But oh.... oh, that's the way it goes
Oh.... ah, that's the way it goes

If I had a bit more time
An extension of these deadlines
A few more hours in the day
I'd catch up on my sleep that way
I might say I'm doing fine, and mean it
If I had a bit more time

In a perfect world there would be peace
Religious fights would all just cease
Battles of the world would be
On global warmth and poverty
Every grip would be released
In a perfect world of peace

but oh.... Oh that's the way it goes
Oh....

I can't make time
But I can add a few more measures to this song
But that might be too long

Well I met a girl and she was fine
She turned my head and turned my mind
Made me think about some things
I just wasn't pondering
Then a big idea came over me
So we made some kids and now they grow like weeds

But oh.... Oh, that's the way it goes
Oh.... ah, that's the way it goes
Oh, that's the way life grows
