Dont step on the grass meaning

Don’t step on the grass.
One day I saw this sentence on a notice board.
Can we use”step on”for this sentence?

Yes. To step on something is to put your foot on it.

You can take it as "Don't walk on the grass, not even a single step".

A more commonly-seen notice is 'Please keep off the grass'.

Starin' at the boob tube, turnin' on the big knob
Tryin' to find some life in the waste land
Fin'ly found a program, gonna deal with Mary Jane
Ready for a trip into hate land
Obnoxious Joe comes on the screen
Along with his guest self-righteous Sam
And one more guy who doesn't count
His hair and clothes are too far out

While 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 grasses

Well 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)
Well, 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 day

You waste my coin Sam, all you can
To jail my fellow man
For smoking all the noble weed
You need much more than him
You've been telling lies so long
Some believe they're true
So they close their eyes to things
You have no right to do
Just as soon as you are gone
Hope will start to climb
Please don't stay around too long
You're wasting precious time

You say this to someone who is so obsessed in the internet and has no life outside of it. Someone who stays inside his room to make drama in the internet instead of going outside to step on grass and enjoy life.

Fat man: you are suck and loser
You: my guy you should really step on grass and get a life.

Steppenwolf - who says "Don't Step On the Grass?"

I'm nearly positive it's not. The song's so vaguely written (in terms of events or details that would make sense if it were a real person), not to mention the other first names in the song that are clearly generic in nature.

We can deduce from the lyrics that 'Sam' is a self-righteous guy with glasses who holds elected office and has appeared on some guy named Joe's TV show. Based on this information, I'm pretty sure it's not Senator Sam Ervin.

John Kay wrote the song, and he's still alive, so I suppose you could try to ask him. Or, alternately, ask the folks in the Steppenwolf forum.

(Oh--and this random marijuana website, and this German Wikipedia page, seem to support the Uncle Sam reading.)
