while spending a summer doing "yard maintenance" to pay the bills, singer Cam Tweedyford came to the realiztion that average customer spent far more money on their lawn than would be necessary to pay someone to turn the same space into a flourishing vegetable garden, thus saving them even more money on food costs. "Although a lot of them still need to learn how to eat vegetables." Twyford remarked, when we caught up to him. "I wrote this song as complete subversion; we are all so well trained to perpetuate the bizzare equation that is global food politics, and basically suffering in general. I'm subverting that. sald not sod. simple."
lyrics
salad not sod
lettuce not lawns
gardens not grass
not gasoline consumption
lemme know when you're done
with that lawnmower
cuz I'd like to lower the blade
right down into the ground
so it can clear the way
for the vegetables
you gotta mow it and de-thatch it
you gotta water and weed wack it
you gotta spend your green to keep it green
and then those god damn weeds attack it
you gotta pray to monsanto
for more herbicides
to wage your holy war
against those Dandilion Terrorists
those terrorists
salsd not sod
lettuce not lawns
gardens not grass
not gasoline
