Scarecrow Lyrics

One more concrete box went up overnight, another treeline cut down

Seems like they can't build 'em fast enough and they just keep on turning them out

Hanging here in this empty field I'm just covered in straw wearing thin

Looking out over shrinking hills that used to have no wind

With no seed in the ground and dirt on the plough

Nobody to mend my fence

Those steel yellow machines are creeping up on me

The old barn's caving in

They left me out here alone with a for-sale sign nailed to a post

And there's no more love for the scarecrow

The little one's used to run and hide in my maze of tall corn rows

The family sang on the front porch swing

Now all I hear is car horns blow

Old man John used to smile at me, tip his hat for a job well done

I kept away all the birds of prey, but I couldn't stop this one

There's no seed in the ground and dirt on the plough

Nobody to mend my fence

Those steel yellow machines are creeping up on me

They left me out here alone with a for-sale sign nailed to a post

And there's no more love for the scarecrow

I wonder what they'll tell their kids when the last of my kind fall

They're all living on a quarter-acre lot beside a two-storey shopping mall

There's no seed in the ground, dirt on the plough

Nobody to mend my fence

Those steel yellow machines are creeping up on me

The old barn's caving in

They left me out here alone with a for-sale sign nailed to a post

And there's no more love for the scarecrow, yeah

For the scarecrow, yeah

There's no seed in the ground

Dirt on the plough

Yeah, for the scarecrow

For the scarecrow

No more love

For the scarecrow

Yeah
