Without A Net lyrics:
"Mushrooms"

Home >> CD Lyrics songlist

I don't know where I am going, and I can't recall where I've been.
I'm not that sure at the present that I know what anything means,
But sometimes I get feeling bitchy; my bite will be worse than my bark,
'Cause it screws with my head that I'm frequently fed like a
 mushroom that grows in the dark!

I have to admit it annoys me. It grates and it gets on my nerves
That the rich man can spend his life getting, yet never gets what he deserves.
Some people's lives are hard labour, but his is a walk in the park!
He goes for that stroll because all of us proles are
 mushrooms that grow in the dark!

Somewhere they're having a meeting and something is being arranged.
Somebody's making decisions, and someone is getting shortchanged.
Some little fishes get eaten, but no one will question the shark!
We learn in our schools to obey all the rules like mushrooms that grow in the dark!

Someday we're going to get smarter and some one will kindle a spark,
But until then we'll live on the scraps that they give to mushrooms that grow in the dark!
Yes, until then we'll live on the scraps that they give to mushrooms that grow in
 (You know what they grow in?)
 the mushrooms that grow in the dark!
