Golden Grains

Farmwork's not hard if you sit in the yard
when
you're tired of shoveling hay
Sharecroppers know when
to jump ship and go,
leaving none at the end of the day
but nothing is worse than a stiff crust of sleepiness,
when you're the one peeling the beans
Those
dungarees chafe when they're belted too tight,
and the
livestock's improperly weaned

One honey grain
and wax form cereals and Apple Jacks
Oh, these my friends,
oh yes, they are the golden grains
Oh, these my friends, oh
yes, they are the elemental things

I can't help
anyone 'cause I'm weak, I'm not strong
and I
can't write this song
I can't help anyone
'cause I'm weak, I'm not strong
and I
can't write this song

Have you ever witnessed an
infant yet ancient chicken
who has yet learned how to
walk?
When the feathers are wet and you're in the
fourth grade,
I bet you'd take the money, not talk
But barnyards and vineyards can stumble and crumble
for
all of the strength that they hold
Those tiny pianos that
play loud and long go
and more antique robots are told

One honey grain and wax form cereals and Apple Jacks
Oh, these my friends, oh yes, they are the golden grains
Oh, these my friends, oh yes, they are the elemental things

I can't help anyone 'cause I'm weak,
I'm not strong
and I can't write this song
I
can't help anyone 'cause I'm weak, I'm not
strong
and I can't write this song
