Story Behind The Song
A producer in LA is putting together a band of aging punks, and looking for songs for the project. There were some suggested titles, none of which I went for, but I think the subject matter here is in line with what the TAXI listing seems to call for.

Lyrics
Your grass is green so I dye mine blue
I don?t know why, I just like it
I buzz the lawn and leave Mohawk rows
Streak each one orange and spike it
Anarchy in the front yard
I should think you?d be glad
My yard?s alive and exciting
Your boring yard is so sad
A pounding beat helps the flowers grow
With speakers planted among them
I crank it up ?til the petals shake
In my slam dancing mosh garden
Anarchy in the front yard
I should think you?d be glad
My yard?s alive and exciting
Your boring yard is so sad
When the weather?s hot I spit beer all over
Just a couple Buds so there?s no hangover.
When I want the shrubs to stop growing higher
I douse them with gas and I set them on fire.
Why should I bother to pull the weeds
I let them fight for existence
Whatever wants to bloom in my yard
Survives through its own persistence.
Anarchy in the front yard
I should think you?d be glad
My yard?s alive and exciting
Your boring yard is so sad
Anarchy in the front yard
I should think you?d be glad
My yard?s alive and exciting
Your boring yard is so sad
