[Verse 1]
This [Dm]is
the true story [G]of the [Dm]weeds: the origin of the [G]species.[Dm]
A story of [G]cultivation, exploitation,
[Dm]civi[G]lization.[Dm][G][Dm]
[G][Dm][G][Dm][G]
[Dm]Found flowering on wasteland unnoticed,
unofficial, [G]ac cident[Dm]al.
A cutting was [G]taken [Dm]but weeds do not thrive [Am]under hothouse c[G]on[Dm]ditions
[G]& wilt when in competition with [Dm]more exotic [G]strains.[Dm][Am]
A charm[Dm]ing naivety,
[G]very short flo[Dm]wering season;
No [Am]sooner has the [Dm]first blooming begun
than decay [G]sets [Dm]in.
Bring your camera,
[G]tak[Dm]e photo o[G]f life on the margins.
[Dm]Offer money in [G]ex change [Dm]for sex & then get
a taxi [G]home.[Dm][Am][Dm][G][Dm][Am]
[G]The story has[Dm] always been the same
A source of wonder due to their ability to thrive [G]on poor
quality [Dm]soil offering [D]very little nourishment
[Dm]Drinking 'Nurishment'.
But weeds must be kept under strict control or they
will destroy [Am]everything in [D]their path.[Dm]
Growing wild, then [G]harvested in [D]their prime
& passed around [Dm]at dinner parties.
[Am]Care for some [F]weed?[Am]
So natural, [Dm]so w[Am]ild,
so unrefined &[Dm]someone's gonna [Am]make a fortune one day
If only they can market this stuff
[Dm]right.[Am][F][Am]
[Dm]Come [Am]on: d[Dm]o your dance.[Am][Dm]
Come [Am]on, do your funny little
[G]dan[Am]ce.
Germination. Plantation. Exploitation.
Civilization.
A sensational buzz - zzzzzz.
[Dm]Crop rotation. Genetic modification. The creation
of expectation. Ultimate frustration.
This is the story of the weeds: the origin

[Outro 1]
of the species.
