They heard his cries in the night from across the lawn / They found him dead at the bottom of the lake at dawn / Nobody'd come running to the rescue and when they were asked / The passersby said that the signs that they read said "Keep Off the Grass"/
Chorus: 'Cause you can't go near / Anybody else's private ground / See folks 'round here / Have got a democratic right to drown / And you're just a fool / If you care about the faces in the crowd / We've got a new edition of the Golden Rule: No trespassing allowed //
Nobody asked her 'bout the bruises on her face / I guess she was glad that they gave her her personal space / When the bones wouldn't mend and it came to an end in the dead of the night / The neighbors were sad but at least they had respected her rights //
Chorus: 'Cause you can't go near / Anybody else's private ground / See folks 'round here / Have got a democratic right to drown / And you're just a fool / If you care about the faces in the crowd / We've got a new edition of the Golden Rule: No trespassing allowed //
Hook: Can't you read the signs? / These are enlightened times / Got to be careful not to think too much / You can watch 'em going under but you just can't touch / /
'Cause you can't go near / Anybody else's private ground See folks 'round here / Have got a democratic right to drown And you're just a fool / If you care about the faces in the crowd We've got a new edition of the Golden Rule: No trespassing allowed //
