Yaki Margulies - Bleedin' Seeds

She was a 1940s beauty queen
But she always said her daughter looked fat
Ruth married rich, got a mansion in Aberdeen
And a diamond collar just for her cat
Her daughter got a job at a magazine
But she said her daughter should’ve been wed
Ruthie didn’t get along with her own mama neither
And she still hears her voice in her head
We’re all just planting our seeds
But we don’t know what they need sometimes
We cut them off at the knees
And then we’re watching them bleed, oh no
He was a sergeant major with a trunk-load of medals
But he grew a temper after the war
To keep his son from his car, he would take out the pedals
Hit the boy when he was late on his chores
He didn’t like when his wife held her book club at home
All these ladies flapping ‘round his domain
But now his old, tired bones have been left all alone
And it’s harder not to shoulder some blame
We’re all just planting our seeds
But we don’t know what they need sometimes
We cut them off at the knees
And now we’re all left to bleed, oh no
I don’t even know what I want anymore
I don’t even know what I want anymore
I just want to see what this has all been for
I just want to see what we’re all heading towards
We’re all just planting our seeds
But we don’t know what they need sometimes
We cut them off at the knees
And now we’re all gonna bleed, oh no
She was a 1940s beauty queen
But she hated that her daughter was round
She was a 1940s beauty queen
But now she’s just dirt in the ground
