lyrics

Whose grass am I walking on today? // Hoosgrass I’m walking on today? //
Whose grass am I walking on today? // Hoosgrass I’m walking on today? //
Can anybody blame me for playin’ with picks when there are so many locks all along the way? //
But now whose grass am I walking on today? // Hoosgrass I’m walking on today? //
Everywhere that I turn, somebody’s feelings get hurt by the words they heard that I supposedly say but now // Whose grass am I walking on? // Nobody else but yours.

Now I can fake it all day although I should probably let you know // I've been doing my best to make this up as I go // so instead I'm gonna fiddle on this little mandolin and play a song for you to jive to while I'm picking and grinning and singing // Whose grass am I walking on today // Hoosgrass I'm walking on today.

If everybody'd give me just a minute // I'm sure that I can spin it in the general vicinity of what you believe // If you'll leave it to me I'll see to it that we agree // because the way I'm slurring words is like a verbal plastic surgery // Common courtesy out the window // I'll bend whatever way the wind blows // so just let me know which side of the line should I walk on // where have all of my original thoughts gone? // Standing at the pulpit now I'm feeling like a culprit while I'm hoping that you'll cut me a break // but tell me who says when a criminal deserves an applause? // I'm just praying what I'm saying doesn't break any laws because // eggshells am I walking on today eggshells I'm walking on today //
eggshells am I walking on today, eggshells I'm walking on today //

eggshells am I walking on today // eggshells I'm walking on today. //
eggshells am I walking on today // eggshells I'm walking on today. //
I've been tiptoeing afraid a whistleblower is gonna come at me from under my bed and that is why // eggshells am I walking on today // eggshells I'm walking on today. // But I'm getting tired of faking it and hoping I can make it when the truth is getting harder to say // because of them eggshells you've got me walking on // cuz I'm tired of dealing with you.

Whose grass am I walking on today // Hoosgrass I'm walking on today //
Whose grass am I walking on today // Hoosgrass I'm walking on today // Like some twisted game of Tetris // political correctness gets progressively harder to play and that is why // eggshells am I walking on today // eggshells I'm walking on today // But whether yer conservative or liberal nobody can deliver // on the promises that all of us make, so tell me now // whose grass should I be walking on? // Apparently not on yours.

You will never be a player if you're playing the fool // but you'll never need a break if you keep breaking the rules // But when a remote is what's controlling everything that you see // what yer media is feeding you is suspiciously juicy // now this may hit you like a swift kick to the family jewels // but you should realize all you're doing is empowering tools like us //
And that case is closed.
