Staring at the boob tube, turnin' on the big knob, tryin' to find some life in the waste land

 C                F       C               D          C                     G
Finally found a program, gonna deal with Mary Jane, ready for a trip into hate land

C            F        C         D      C                        G
  Obnoxious Joe comes on the screen, along with his guest self-righteous Sam

     C        F   C               D          C                    G
And one more guy     who doesn't count, his hair and clothes are too far out

       C                 F      C             D        C                     G
While pushing back his glasses Sam is sayin' casually "I was elected by the masses"

           C      F        C          D       C                     G                D  A
And with that in mind he starts to unwind, a vicious attack on the finest of grasses

[Chorus]
          C      F       C        D      G
Well it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty (Don't Step On The Grass, Sam)

    C        F    C         D       G
And it will ruin our fair country (Don't be such an ass, Sam)

      C        F         C       D       G
Well, it will hook your Sue and Johnny (You're so full of bull, Sam)

 C        F        C            D     G                                                 D  A
All will pay that disagree with me (Please give up you already lost the fight, alright)
[Verse]
         C  F   C       D       C              G
Misinformation Sam and Joe are feeding to the nation

         C               F     C           D        C                G
But the one who didn't count counted them out by exposing all their false quotations

      C       F    C          D        C                                G
I’ll face my very awkward situation - this is all he'd say to save the day
[Chorus]
          C      F       C        D      G
Well it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty (Don't Step On The Grass, Sam)

And it will ruin our fair country (Don't be such an ass, Sam)

      C        F         C       D       G
Well, it will hook your Sue and Johnny (You're so full of bull, Sam)

 C        F        C            D     G                                                 D  A
All will pay that disagree with me (Please give up you already lost the fight, alright)

              D         G              C       G      D
You waste my coin Sam, all you can to jail my fellow man

                     G              C         G         D
For smoking all the noble weed you need much more than him

                     G            C      G              D
You've been telling lies so long some believe they're true

                     G                  C       G       D
So they close their eyes to things you have no right to do

                 G             C          G        D
Just as soon as you are gone, hope will start to climb

                    G                      C        G       D     A
Please don't stay around too long, you're wasting precious time
[Chorus]
          C      F       C        D      G
Well it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty (Don't Step On The Grass, Sam)

    C        F    C         D       G
And it will ruin our fair country (Don't be such an ass, Sam)

      C        F         C       D       G
Well, it will hook your Sue and Johnny (You're so full of bull, Sam)

 C        F        C            D     G                                                 D  A
All will pay that disagree with me (Please give up you already lost the fight, alright)
