epic beard men - hedges lyrics

[verse 1: b. dolan]
i ain’t right but i ain’t left
strange thing he said to me on the day we first met
ex-prison guard pretty large military vet
sizin’ me from his front yard i wasn’t worried yet
he seemed friendly i told him my name
he said he’d keep to himself i said we mostly do the same
nice to meet you welcome to the neighborhood type introduction
i kept it movin’ no more reason for discussion
though i recently been wonderin’ what the deal is
deliveries keep comin’ and goin’, what is he building?
kids toys in the yard but no kids
brings a lot of trash out and groceries in
no one ever visits, never opens windows
i swear though i can hear distant voices echoing from limbo
the dude is not on facebook, uses a flip phone
my wife insists though, it couldn’t happen in our zip code
she don’t think so
she sounds like the people on the news
no one thinks of takin’ action til it’s happenin’ to you
i’m just tryin’ to be proactive and i think we need to face it
i got a neighbor who i think may have some people in the bas-m-nt
i got a neighbor who i think may have some people in the bas-m-nt
i got a neighbor
(i got a neighbor)

[chorus]
ask em how high the hedges? (how high the hedges?)
how tall the gr-ss? (how tall the gr-ss?)
you love your neighbor? (you love your neighbor?)
well how long’s it last? (how long’s it last?)
(scared…)
how high the hedges? (how high the hedges?)
(so scared…)
how tall the gr-ss? (how tall the gr-ss?)
(stay scared)
you love your neighbor? (love your neighbor)
for how long? (for how long?)

[verse 2: sage francis]
he ain’t wrong but he ain’t right
just keep your eyes off of my lawn and don’t worry about my life
i ain’t a good neighbor, well i’m a good shot
which might be necessary since i heard he don’t believe in good cops
he fits the profile of the thugs i used to profile
got nothing to do with racial make-up, it’s just that whole style
you know the type, looks like he messes with pipe bombs
told my kids to stay inside when they see his lights on
now i got them learnin’ how to build stuff
while i weatherize our shelter to protect us from the wind gusts
cause winter’s coming, and this time it might not ever leave
unlike my wife, cause when i returned from overseas
i was someone different
so now i’m new to this area, hey, keep a safe distance that’s the american way
look at these self snitches, with their fancy camera phones
good for them i guess leave that mess pointed at your own
let nsa have a field day, siri don’t live here
don’t tell me how the outside world works, i’ve k!lled there
i’mma teach my kids the differences between you and me
til this whole d-mn country is a gated community
(stay scared)
til this whole d-mn country is a gated community
(stay scared, big man)
i got a neighbor (i got a neighbor)
who says

[chorus]
how high the hedges? (how high the hedges?)
how tall the gr-ss? (how tall the gr-ss?)
you love your neighbor? (you love your neighbor?)
well how long’s it last? (how long’s it last?)
(scared…)
how high the hedges? (how high the hedges?)
(so scared…)
how tall the gr-ss? (how tall the gr-ss?)
(stay scared)
you love your neighbor? (you love your neighbor?)
for how long? (for how long?)

(scared…so scared)
(stay scared)

[verse 3]
[b. dolan]
you know you heard about it every couple years
news vans, cameras, bystanders in tears
and when the truth appears, there’s no punishment too severe
for lunatics keepin’ humans like souvenirs down in the room somewhere
look at ‘im out there mowin’ his lawn
actin’ like it ain’t a thing going on
[sage francis]
look at ‘im out there washin’ his car
probably wonderin’ where all of us are
[b. dolan/sage francis]
look at ‘im out there
[b. dolan]
tendin’ his garden
when he collect the harvest i’mma end what he started
[b. dolan/sage francis]
look at ‘im out there buildin’ his wall
[sage francis]
acting like it won’t eventually fall
