Artist/Band: Ween
Lyrics for Song: Roses Are Free
Lyrics for Album: Chocolate & Cheese



Take a piece of tinsel and put it on the tree
Cut a slab of melon and pretend that you still love me
Carve out a pumpkin and rely on your destiny
Get in your car and cruise the land of the brave and free
But don't forget to understand exactly what you put on the tree
Don't believe the florist when he tells you that the roses are free

Take a wrinkled raisin and do with it what you will
Push it into third if you know your gonna climb a hill
Eat plenty of lasagna till you know that you've had your fill
Resist all the urges that make you wanna go out and kill
But don't forget to understand exactly what you put on the tree
Don't believe the florist when he tells you that the roses are free
(yea) -Intsrumental Solo-

Throw the pumpkin at the tree unless you think that pumpkin holds
your destiny
Cast if off into the sea bake that pie and eat it with me
(Repeat)


Roses Are Free

Ween's "Roses Are Free" stands as a defining track on their 1991 album *Chocolate & Cheese*, capturing the band's signature blend of psychedelic pop and quirky humor. Released during the height of their commercial success, the song exemplifies the duo's ability to merge catchy melodies with surreal, often self-deprecating lyrics that have become iconic in alternative rock history. The recording features the distinctive vocal interplay between Richard and Dean Ween, showcasing their unique approach to songwriting that balances innocence with absurdity. As a staple of their discography, the track remains a cultural touchstone, frequently cited as a prime example of 1990s indie rock that prioritized artistic expression over conventional radio formats. Its enduring appeal lies in its infectious energy and the way it encapsulates the band's specific brand of eccentricity that continues to influence modern music.
