New Gardens Lyrics by Peter Oren

Anthropocene

2017

[Verse 1]
Being industrious seems a must
But not the way our grandfathers learned
A great new dust bowl is gathering its gust
When the ground clouds come where will we turn?
[Verse 2]
Well Sue you will always be my pretty lady
Even with work’s wrinkles 'round your eyes
But if the work we need takes me away from you
Don’t you waste no water, don’t you cry
[Chorus]
'Cause when new gardens need growing
We all should be a'knowing
No one need be a'hoeing alone
Save the fences for the rabbits
If you need a tool you can have it
There’ll be room for everyone and we all need a home
[Verse 3]
But if we’re gonna eat us any pears or beans
We’d better keep that soil where it is
Everybody knows our plows have cut far and deep
But don’t yet reminisce of the things you’ll miss
[Chorus]
'Cause when new gardens need growing
We all should be knowing
No one need be a'hoeing alone
Save the fences for the rabbits
If you need a tool you can have it
There’ll be room for everyone and we all need a home
[Bridge]
But if in the dust the dipper loses
Its might in the night sky
Just remember that it needs a human hand
If it’s to scrape
Anything from the pan
Anyways
[Chorus]
'Cause when new gardens need growing
We all should be a'knowing
No one need be a'hoeing alone
Save the fences for the rabbits
If you need a tool you can have it
There’ll be room for everyone and we all need a home
