Ween - Roses Are Free Lyrics






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 the 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

Tke a wrinkled raisin, and do with it what you will
Push it into third if you know you're gonna
climb a hill
Eat plenty of lasagna 'til 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

Throw that pumpkin at the tree
Unless you think that pumpkin hols your destiny
Cast it off into the sea, bake that pie
and eat it with me

Ween Roses Are Free Comments
  1. K.... M....

    I threw that pumpkin. I cast it off. And I’m a better man for it today. I know the roses aren’t free.

  2. f.... f....

    This song is a coked up version of flutes of chi

  3. R.... D....

    I no longer jack off, I simply listen to ween and it just happens

  4. L.... C....

    "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 the 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"

    My dad showed me and my brother Ween when we were like 10/11; this music definitely stuck with us 💗 Ween is supreme. Weird and cool.

  10. S.... S....

    So this isn't a Phish song? Huh...

  11. a.... 9....

    I don't think between these two knuckleheads they have any idea what they are talking about.

  12. L.... I....

    i dont know who these guys are or what kind music this is but thank you for giving hip hop music an awesome sample

  13. J.... S....

    This cover is better than the original, not that I hate the original, just better.

  14. W.... B....

    The 90's Ween & LSD

  15. X.... ....

    This song tastes like circles. 👍

  16. C.... R....

    I hate that I like this song

  17. S.... M....

    No matter how crappy I am feeling.... Ween always makes me smile.

    S.... M....

    Slade Morelis OMG same

  18. M.... M....

    What's beneath da belt? ; )))

  19. S.... ....

    This is the song that got me into Ween. Heard it playing at a Blockbuster Music, back when you had to leave your house to find good music. I asked the sales person," Who is this??! I'm buying their cd." So, this song will always hold a special place in my heart.

  20. A.... L....

    this makes me mad and when i'm mad i kill and kill and kill and kill and kill and kill and kill and kill and kill and kill and kill

    A.... L....

    Aleksei Laek resist all the urges that make you wanna go out and kill

    Throw the pumpkin at the tree unless you think that pumpkin holds your destiny

  22. S.... ....

    Killer Mike "A.D.I.D.A.S." brought me here.

  23. J.... Z....

    Resist the urges that make you want to go out and kill. That escalated quickly.

  24. 9.... M....

    Reminds me of this smoking hot lover I once had. She was from VIrginia, we met in Florida.

  25. M.... R....

    This song and album are even better when you hear the story of how it came about. Such a great tune.

  26. T.... ....

    2:20 is the reason I wake up every day

    T.... ....

    Indeed.

  27. t.... ....

    Existential surrealist Christmas Thanksgiving carol. Thank you Ween.

  28. M.... K....

    I wanna fuck this song

  29. P.... ....

    Holy shit I've been listening to phish play this for years im just now realising its ween.

    P.... ....

    Phuck Yeah bro!

  30. b.... u....

    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 the 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
    Tke a wrinkled raisin, and do with it what you will
    Push it into third if you know you're gonna climb a hill
    Eat plenty of lasagna 'til you know that you've had your fill
    Resist all the urges that make you want to 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
    Throw that pumpkin at the tree
    Unless you think that pumpkin holds your destiny
    Cast it off into the sea, bake that pie and eat it with me

  31. M.... B....

    Great guitar solo

  32. M.... B....

    I'm 11 and this is my fav band

    M.... B....

    you are vibrating higher my child

    M.... B....

    I sense the brownness is strong in this one.

    M.... B....

    @notnow000 death grips

    M.... B....

    yeah sure

  33. W.... B....

    This sounds like a George Michael b-side

  34. K.... S....

    Garfield would approve of this song when it comes to emptying out a pan of lasagna.

    K.... S....

    I'm am hungry I want some lasaga!

  35. j.... ....

    Getting a new Ween LP, I'd always rush home to put it on in my hi-fi as soon as possible. Chocolate and cheese was the exception. I waited until the Saturday night to do mushrooms in my bedroom ready for its virgin listen. It literally sounds like the sound of trippin to me now, all these years later. Its my secret.

    j.... ....

    Some things you go in through the front door, others , you use the back

  36. C.... N....

    Prefer this on .75 speed

  37. k.... ....

    Hanging out in Ryan Bergeron's swampy basement in the mid 90s.

    k.... ....

    the smell of Ween

  38. A.... S....

    I hope there's a pumpkin out there with my destiny

  39. A.... A....

    I love this. Now i understand EXACTLY what i put on the tree

  40. B.... S....

    Party at school recommend this they looked at album they called me pervert turned off screen let them hear they call me god now

  41. n.... ....

    bootleg funkadelic

    n.... ....

    yeah I wasn't saying they were bad

    n.... ....

    deh yea im saying ween is better

    n.... ....

    yea they are imo

  42. A.... L....

    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 the 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

    Tke a wrinkled raisin, and do with it what you will 
    Push it into third if you know you're gonna climb a hill 
    Eat plenty of lasagna 'til you know that you've had your fill 
    Resist all the urges that make you want to 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

    Throw that pumpkin at the tree 
    Unless you think that pumpkin holds your destiny 
    Cast it off into the sea, bake that pie and eat it with me

  43. m.... ....

    I always wanted to see Prince crush the solo

  44. s.... a....

    Phish is gaytarded

    s.... a....

    That comment is pretty gay

  45. S.... B....

    Fuck. Yeah.

  46. S.... B....

    Like everyone, probably including the writer, I have no fucking idea what this song means, and yet it still sounds profound. I'm going to blame it on the hook, and the sick guitar tone.

    S.... B....

    Sean Baker To me it's just an advice song. Like, if you throw the pumpkin at the tree, or cast it off into the sea, you won't be able to bake the pumpkin pie later to eat with Gene.

    S.... B....

    its about abortion

    S.... B....

    My dad said its about the government trying to control our lives "dont believe the florist"

    S.... B....

    I always thought it was about holidays. Your can reject Halloween "the pumpkin" and Christmas "the tree" you can reject holidays and be a lonely or you can go with it and try to have fun.

    S.... B....

    Imo:
    This takes place in a home at thanksgiving, where the christmas tree is up, but they haven't taken down all the halloween decorations either. The adults are exchanging banalities and idioms, and this song is from the POV of a child who has no idea what any of it really means

  47. N.... C....

    PASA FOR FREE

  48. T.... J....

    Love Deaner's solo in this one.

    T.... J....

    The Guitar tone is incredible, sounds like liquid meth in audio form.

  49. P.... ....

    so good it hurts

  50. J.... B....

    I used to whack off to this CD's packaging.

    J.... B....

    the back cover is pretty much the same, but from the back.
    the back of the CD booklet had the same as the back cover, but the chick didn't have a shirt on

    J.... B....

    Calm down

  51. A.... K....

    I had lasagna last night for dinner!!!

    A.... K....

    Alexander Kaiser did you eat it untill you had your fill?

    A.... K....

    have you had your fill? and afterwards did you resist the urges to go out and kill?

  52. G.... M....

    One of the best live songs you could see, its a whole different and better beast.

  53. U.... o....

    number one song to play while launching a rocket in kerbal

    U.... o....

    nice, i'm listening this whilst playing factorio myself :D

  54. A.... L....

    I play this every Christmas!

  55. J.... B....

    Best ween song. I noticed every song on this album is mimicking some other band I can't put my finger on this one though

    J.... B....

    The phish song is phish sounding like ween (it's a cover, this is not a cover), not the opposite, just saying.

    J.... B....

    Phish covers this song, but would we have this song without Phish?

    J.... B....

    Sign of talent is versatility ween will always be special to the lucky ones

    J.... B....

    @triumphant39 its a phish parody and now phish covers it

    J.... B....

    Now that I know this one mimicks Phish, who do the other ones mimick?

  56. J.... l....

    This is by far one of Ween's best tracks. Extremely well-written and is super catchy at the same time!

  57. X.... F....

    you fucker o man christ jesus I mean fuck man. Can life be this shitty.

  58. C.... ....

    my house smells like weed

    C.... ....

    I wonder why lmao

    C.... ....

    this was a weed album, listen to the pod or earlier stuff for a real mind fu%$

  59. p.... ....

    best advice ever: "throw that pumpkin at the tree, unless you think that pumpkin holds your destiny. cast it off into the sea, or bake that pie and eat it with me." ahh, literal lyrical knowledge bomb. heh.

    p.... ....

    ima kill

    p.... ....

    Resist all the urges that make you want to go out and kill is pretty good advice to.

  60. M.... P....

    I remember listening to this album with my mom and my little sister in the car when we went on trips to wherever we were heading.

    M.... P....

    hmm....me to!

    M.... P....

    Trips you say?

    M.... P....

    you must have an amazing mother and sister then

  61. B.... K....

    Love it!

  62. H.... F....

    6 people bought roses for 6 dollars.

    H.... F....

    Harrison Fink guess they’re not free

  63. W.... D....

    This tune taught me the fundamentals of driving a manual.

    W.... D....

    Can I say that I think of that line EVERY SINGLE TIME I go up a hill and I don't even drive manual?

    W.... D....

    I ride a 21 speed bike and I still think of that line...

    W.... D....

    Winky Dee great comment

  64. J.... B....

    YOUNG MONEY

  65. J.... P....

    Phishs version is sooooooo much better than the original. But Trey has nothing but love for these guys.

    J.... P....

    Jason Pope eat shit and die

    J.... P....

    Phish: this song is ours now.
    Ween: seems that way. Take care of her.

    J.... P....

    Phish version is WAY worse. Phish sucks!

    J.... P....

    Phish fucking rocks

  66. B.... D....

    I know! I just ran across a review of the whole album and had to come listen to it again.

    M.... ....

    Ugh it’s beautiful

  68. s.... c....

    I used to stare at a picture of Katherine Hepburn from the '30s in my dorm room while listening to this over and over. Made sense.

    s.... c....

    Sounds like psychotropic substances were involved.

    s.... c....

    If you have a photo of Katherine Hepburn in your room in college you are probably gay. Sorry bro.

    s.... c....

    I'm mailing this poster suggestion to Mickey with creds
    Heres his quote for Chocolate and Cheese's Roses Are Free

    I used to stare at a picture of Katherine Hepburn from the '30s in my

    How cool would that be if you can get the rights to a Catherine
    Hepburn image for a poster?
    Hhhhh

    s.... c....

    oh..yeah..i can hear it now..its her quivering voice giving age old advice

    s.... c....
