Cultivate their flowers to be
Nothing more than something
They invest in.
I've seen this text in online lyrics sites as well, but in my version of the song (which is the original album version to the best of my knowledge), he sings "do what they do just to be" instead of "cultivate their flowers to be". Anyone can clear that up?
