Verse
COME ALONG WITH ME CAUSE I FEEL THE NEED
TO TALK UP SOME STORY, ABOUT MY FAMILY
AND MY FAMILY TREE OH I LOVE ITS GLORY
CAUSE IT SCREAMS OF LIFE AND LOVE
MIXED UP WITH SOME WHITE TRASH AND ISLAND SOUL
CAUSE YOU KNOW THAT THE GRASS IS GREENER
ON THE OTHER SIDE OH
ALL THESE SOUNDS PROVIDE MY LUST FOR LIFE

Verse
WHAT'S THAT UNIQUE SOUND SHAKIN UP THE GROUND
IN THAT BACKYARD PARTY
BOOKOO'S ON THE GRILL AND MY UNCLE BILL
JUST FUCKED UP HIS HARLEY
CROWDS OF BROWN AND WHITE UNITE
UNITE AND YOUR FOES WILL BE YOUR BROS CAUSE YOU KNOW
THAT THE GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE OH
GONE AWAY IS THE SIMPLE PAIN

Chorus
I WON'T GET DOWN FOR A FIGHT
IT JUST DON'T MEAN A THING
IT CAN'T FUCK WITH ME TONIGHT
IT JUST DON'T MEAN A THING
GONE AWAY IS THAT LIFE OF CRIME
IT JUST DON'T MEAN A THING
A LOVE THAT'S LOST AND RECKLESS LIFE
IT JUST DON'T MEAN A THING

Verse
IF I SAID TO YOU COULD YOU PROVE YOUR TRUTH
TO YOUR LIFE'S CONVICTION
WOULD YOU THEN TELL ME QUITE FEASABLY
YOU LACK LIFE'S TRANSMISSION
GRAB YOUR BOARD AND PADDLE FOR YOU'LL
FIND THE TRUTH IN THE OCEAN BLUE CAUSE IT'S TRUE
THAT THE GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE OH
GONE AWAY IS THE SIMPLE PAIN
