It's Time For This Foolishness To Stop
They call me a weed and I wonder why
Because I often have pretty blooms on my top
Whose the one to say _ I'm a weed and not a flower_
This pulling me up_ has got to stop.
Roses might be pretty but they have thorns
If you're not careful they'll make you bleed_
My stems are thin but I won't prick your fingers_
You still pull me up because I'm called a weed.
Some of my cousins are called wildflowers
You always say they're pretty and pick big bouquets
While walking over me and trampling me down_
If you'll quit calling me a weed_ it'll make my day.
It's time for this foolishness to stop.
