They made a new flower,
those scientist people,
they say it's never gonna wilt
when we cut it off from the stem.

"A revolution", a big deal
for gardeners and florists and supermarkets
who'll never sell flowers
in the same way again.
Lots of flowers sitting around.

Sappy couples and sad families
buy all those flowers, pretty flowers,
now they just look nice
everyday. Today they're pretty
and tomorrow they're pretty,
the day after tomorrow
they're still pretty.

Buy 'em once, throw 'em once
on the graves or countertops,
they're here to stay now.
The same flowers just piling up.
