Green Grass

Looking out at the people looking in

Feeling good must be some kind of sin

Looking in at the people looking out

Feeling guilty - scared to move about

Looking up at the people looking down

Taking tranquilizers by the pound

Looking down at the people looking up

Getting mad ‘cause they can't get enough.

Ah, but that green grass on the other side

Is just an illusion

We all have our own confusion.

Rich people watching the people poor

Trying to figure out how to get some more

Poor people watching people rich

You know, they call them dirty you-know-which.

Ugly people watching the people pretty

Say they can't get down to the nitty-gritty

Pretty people watching people ugly

Say I show couldn't stand you to kiss and hug me.

Ah, but that green grass on the other side

Is just an illusion

We all have our own confusion.
