[Intro : Heavy vinyl surface noise, spliced sample of a 1950s gardening instructional tape, tape rewind screeches, abrupt silence] The following message is brought to you by Thompson's Everbright for a greener cleaner lawn. [Verse : Warped acoustic guitar loop that skips like a damaged CD, disjointed rhythm made of wood snapping sounds, vocals dry and close then suddenly distant] Staring at the fence again Wooden teeth all crooked bent What’s over there what’s over there A world I can’t touch no matter how I care Longing burns my feet like fire The other side feeds my desire A greener world a brighter hue Why’s it never here why’s it always you [Chorus : Manic collage of major key advertising jingles chopped up, layered pitch-shifted vocal harmonies, aggressive compression, tempo accelerates] The grass is greener greener greener Over there it’s always cleaner cleaner cleaner I don’t know why I don’t know how But I want it now I want it now [Verse 2 : Tape speed slows down significantly creating a slurry texture, muffled underwater filter, samples of shovels hitting dirt, granular static] I water my roots but they won’t grow My hands are calloused dirt below I dig for answers dig for gold Find nothing but stories I’ve been told The wind blows whispers I can’t catch A life unspoken behind the latch What’s the secret what’s the key Why’s it locked away from me [Chorus : Hard cut to high-fidelity glitch, erratic stutter editing on the word "cleaner", rhythmic record scratching, disjointed brass blasts] The grass is greener greener greener Over there it’s always cleaner cleaner cleaner I don’t know why I don’t know how But I want it now I want it now [Pre-Chorus : High-frequency granular synthesis, swirling stereo pan, fire crackle texture, vocals chopped into sixteenth notes] Longing burns my feet like fire The other side feeds my desire A greener world a brighter hue Why’s it never here why’s it always you [Chorus : Maximum density, overlapping disparate genre samples, chaotic drum breaks, frantic repetition] The grass is greener greener greener Over there it’s always cleaner cleaner cleaner I don’t know why I don’t know how But I want it now I want it now [Outro : Locked groove effect, audio loop degrading in quality with every repetition, stuck record stutter, sudden tape stop] greener greener greener greener greener greener cleaner cleaner cleaner greener greener greener greener greener greener greener greener greener greener greener greener greener greener gree[sudden ending]
