The Plants Lyrics by Gruf

Druidry

2001

Intro:
The plants

Verse 1:
The plants, they can read your mind and then some
Ever tried connecting a lie detector to a Philodendron?
To think of strange thoughts, but not speak a word
The more familiar the herb for many blocks you could be heard
No one can merge without the power to observe
The unified field from which they see the words before they're heard
Ever see or heard of seed and trees crawling beneath clay and soil?
Singing in symphonies that prewrit the human toil
Uprooted they boil in agony in tune to tragedy
Neighboring trees cry in fear
How many ears pierce the apathy?
So exhibiting among us, dancing to beats that drumless
They tug us with a rope tied with Psilocybic fungus
The tribe that brung us customs and cultures from life to death
Try taking a breath of oxygen without feeling the effects
Of the plants they’ve adopted the human seed
And prompted many others becoming mothers of Earth
Bursting with beauty, undiscovered, pursuing tranquility
Quiet virtuous wisdom through the humility
Gifts given have been of interest
Medicine of tradition has almost entirely been comprised
Of those botanical lives fending off our own demise
Modern pharmaceuticals have become more suitably disguised
From the plants that feed your eyes with tastebuds to tantalize
The plants have tried and try again, they try to harmonize
Ask Grover Washington Carver who sang to his garden why
The voice of the tiniest thing as significant as the largest eyes
The plants they pardon our weakness, give us uniqueness
And opportunity to take part in life's completeness

Hook:
I'm talkin’ 'bout the plants (the plants)
That's right I said the plants (the plants)
I'm talkin' 'bout the plants (the plants)
That's right I said the plants (the plants)

Verse 2:
You don't recall who sheltered you when you were just a child
You don’t recall who fed you homosapien when you were wild
You don’t recall who made the air so pure and clean
You don't recall, but got the nerve to sit right in-between
Who protected your weak vulnerable body when you were naked?
Walking through the trees appearing much less godly
You don’t recall
You don't recall
You don't recall
You don't recall
Well, I do!
It was the plants!

Hook:
(The plants)
The plants
I’m talkin' 'bout the plants (the plants)
That's right I said the plants (the plants)
The motherfucking plants
The plants
The plants
I'm talkin' bout the plants
The plants
The plants
That's right I said the plants
I'm talkin' 'bout the plants
You know I said the plants
I'm talkin' 'bout the plants
...said the motherfuckin' plants

Scratching:
The plants
The plants
The plants
The plants
The plants
The plants
