Drone Over My Lawn

[Verse 1] I’m Jim, just mowin’ my lawn on a Sunday, Sweatin’ through my shirt, keepin’ things tidy, Grass looks fine, or so I reckoned, Then I hear a buzz, like a robot’s beckoned, A drone from the HOA, hoverin’ low, Measurin’ my blades down to the decimal, ya know. (sigh) Great, now I’m a lawn criminal. [Chorus] Buzz, buzz, drone in the sky, Watchin’ my yard, gonna make me cry, Fine me for grass, fine me for pride, HOA’s got nowhere to hide. [Verse 2] It’s not just the lawn, got a flag on my porch, Stars and stripes, been there since the Fourth, Drone takes a pic, sends a digital note, “Flag’s divisive, might upset a vote,” I’m standin’ there dumb, with my mower in hand, Wonderin’ when freedom got a fine and a ban. (spoken) And that’s when I knew we’re all screwed. [Chorus] Buzz, buzz, drone in the sky, Watchin’ my yard, gonna make me cry, Fine me for grass, fine me for pride, HOA’s got nowhere to hide. [Bridge] Now it’s loggin’ my grill, says smoke’s too thick, Reports my dog for a “threatening lick,” I’m billed three hundred for a quarter-inch sin, Big Brother’s a drone with a bureaucratic grin. [Chorus] Buzz, buzz, drone in the sky, Watchin’ my yard, gonna make me cry, Fine me for grass, fine me for pride, HOA’s got nowhere to hide. [Outro] I just wanna mow without this damn fight, But hell, I’m broke under drone spotlight.
