Anti-Stress Zen Garden
written by Serene Dominic, 2014
Every morning it’s the same old fuss
Someone new is thrown under the bus
The only variation I can see is wondering who the new recruit will be
I DON’T KNOW I DON’T KNOW HOW FAR I MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN
IF IT WASN’T FOR MY ANTI-STRESS ZEN GARDEN (2X)
Life’s a beach, a little patch of sand
Small enough to fit inside your hand
Folk can ridicule me left to right
This miniature rake has probably saved their lives
I DON’T KNOW I DON’T KNOW IF I’D HAVE TURNED OUT ROTTEN
IF IT WASN’T FOR MY ANTI-STRESS ZEN GARDEN (2X)
Where I don’t need anybody and I don’t want anybody
and I don’t love anybody, everything’s already turned to sand!
Once I was out on the ledge because I lost all sense
I lost my job, I lost my house I lost my, umm, my pretty little baby
I’m not sitting on a fence about it so don’t you get-a me started
Unless you want to hear about all of its restorative powers
I DON’T KNOW I DON’T KNOW HOWMUCH I HAVE HAVE GOTTEN
IF IT WASN’T FOR MY ANTI-STRESS ZEN GARDEN (2X)
Where I don’t need anybody and I don’t want anybody and I don’t love anybody
