Don't Step On The Grass Sam Lyrics


Starin' at the boob tube, turnin' on the big knob
Tryin' to find some life in the waste land
Finally found a program, gonna deal with Mary Jane
Ready for a trip into hate landObnoxious Joe comes on a screen
Along with his guest self-righteous Sam
And one more guy who doesn't count
His hair and clothes are too far outWhile pushin' back his glasses
Sam is sayin' casually, "I was elected by the masses"
And with that in mind he starts to unwind
A vicious attack on the finest of grassesWell 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)It will hook your Sue and Johnny
(You're so full of bull, Sam)
All will pay that disagree with me
(Please give up, you already lost the fight, alright)Misinformation Sam and Joe are feeding to the nation
But the one who didn't count, counted them out
By exposing all their false quotations

Faced by a very awkward situation
This is all he'd say to save the dayWell 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)It will hook your Sue and Johnny
(You're so full of bull, Sam)
All will pay that disagree with me
(Please give up, you already lost the fight, alright)You waste my coin Sam, all you can
To jail my fellow man
For smoking all the noble weed
You need much more than himYou've been telling lies so long
Some believe they're true
So they close their eyes to things
You have no right to doJust as soon as you are gone
Hope will start to climb
Please don't stay around too long
You're wasting precious timeWell 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)It will hook your Sue and Johnny
(You're so full of bull, Sam)
All will pay that disagree with me
(Please give up, you already lost the fight, alright)

Steppenwolf is a rock band which formed in Los Angeles, California, United States in 1967. The band originally consisted of John Kay (vocals, guitar), Michael Monarch (guitar), Rushton Moreve (bass), Goldie McJohn (keyboards) and Jerry Edmonton (drums). The band is best known for their hit singles "Born to Be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ride". They were named after the novel Der Steppenwolf by German author Hermann Hesse.

Frontman John Kay's mother escaped with him at age 4 from Soviet occupied East Germany, an event recounted in the song "Renegade" on the album Steppenwolf Seven. His family resettled in Hannover, West Germany, before moving to Canada in 1958. Kay is partially blind, hence the use of dark glasses

In 1968, Nick St. Nicholas replaced Moreve as bass player.

Steppenwolf had its origins in the Toronto blues band Sparrow, which was formed in 1964 and played coffeehouses in Yorkville. By 1967 they had settled in San Francisco.

Steppenwolf rocketed to fame after their third single, "Born to Be Wild" was used in the movie Easy Rider, as well as "The Pusher". The former song may have coined the term "heavy metal". This was followed by several more hits, including "Magic Carpet Ride" from Steppenwolf the Second, and "Rock Me" from At Your Birthday Party. Many fans consider their double album Steppenwolf Live [an extended single album in the UK] the best of Steppenwolf's releases. Monster and For Ladies Only were the band's most political albums, and are still fondly remembered by fans as two of the best rock & roll snapshots of the attitudes of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The band broke up in 1971, and Kay pursued a solo career. Steppenwolf reformed in 1974 with the album Slow Flux, and disbanded in 1976. Afterwards, several versions of the band toured North America until Kay reformed the official version of the group in 1980.

John Kay released a solo album in 2001.
