Mow The Lawn (parody of Boulevard of Broken Dreams
A parody of "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day.
Awesomeness! That is all that could possibly describe my comedic songs...
Hey! The name is John, but I go by "The Phreako". I am 17 years old and I have been involved with music in some way for more than 10 years. I play Guitar, Keyboard, and a few other assorted instruments...but I love to write. I haven't had an organized band in years, but I have friends who like to perform on my songs. The biggest problem I always have is getting the perfect sound for my songs. It is SO FRIGGING HARD!!! ARGH! anyway. Hope ya'll love what I've done so far.
Story behind the song
I was showing some songs to some close friends of mine while we were driving, and then "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" came on the radio, and my friends mom said "Hey, when are you gonna write "Mow The Lawn"?" And I said "Hmm...I might just do that." So I did...and here it is. It took me a while to get all of the instruments done right, but they are good enough for now...I just want to see how high I can get this on the charts. It will give me some motivation to finish up my album.
Lyrics
My lawn the grass has grown,
The longest grass that I have ever known.
Don't know how high it goes,
But it's up to me to mow the lawn.
I'll put shoes on my feet,
That grass is high, I've got nothing left but weeds.
There is no time for sleep,
Cause it's up to me to mow the lawn.
I'll mow the lawn, I'll mow the lawn.
I'll mow the lawn, I'll mow the...
My shadow has seemed to abandon me.
The weather's hot and the shade is fleeing.
The grass so long no one will ever find me.
Till then I'll mow the lawn.
A-ah, a-ah, a-ah. Aa-ah.
A-ah, a-ah. YAWN!
The weather feels just fine,
What am I saying, I've lost my mind.
Oh, how the sun it shines!
I'm green adn itchy as I mow the lawn.
I hit a bee hive, the bees attacked me.
But that's alright.
Check my vital signs, I guess I'm still alive,
So I'll mow the lawn.
I'll mow the lawn, I'll mow the lawn.
I'll mow the lawn, I'll mow the...
My shadow has seemed to abandon me.
The weather's hot and the shade is fleeing.
The grass so long no one will ever find me.
Till then I'll mow the lawn.
A-ah, a-ah. Ah...ahhh....AHH! A-ah....
I'll mow the lawn, I'll mow the...
Some ants have found my feet,
They think that it is a delicacy.
My face has gone to sleep,
I'm green and itchy as I mow the lawn.
I can watch the grass growing right before me.
I'm lost in a jungle that has a grass ceiling.
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me.
Till then, I'll mow the lawn.
