歌词
There were people living in a green valley
Found a way to make a lot of money
Made the green turn gradually grey
They figured they could do whatever they want
Everything would be alright
Scars don't always heal away
And the sons and the daughters got diamonds and gold
They were given land
But strong roots never take hold
Good seed don't grow on the barren ground
Good things don't come along
As you just sit dreaming on
Good seed don't grow on the barren ground
Everything fades away
There you are still around
What do you do?
Where do you go?
There was a ship along the coast
Carrying a hold of black money
In the sound near the northern lights
When the ship set sail
The crew looked for guidance
In the bottom of an empty glass
And the captain said
Pour me another rhyme
And the water turned black
As that cold winter's night
Good seed don't grow on the barren ground
Good things don't come along
As you just sit dreaming on
Good seed don't grow on the barren ground
Everything fades away
There you are still around
What do you do?
Where do you go?
And the sons and the daughters got diamonds and gold
They were given land
But strong roots never take hold
Good seed don't grow on the barren ground
Good things don't come along
As you just sit dreaming on
Good seed don't grow on the barren ground
Everything fades away
There you are still around
