25 Degrees North lyrics

my friend gave everything he owns away

my friend says he`s happier that way

he says did you ever notice the more you own,

the more worries you have?

i thought about my rent check and my bank account

and couldn`t help but understand

he told me that he`s going back to santa cruz to live on a boat

without a phone or a thing in his hands

and i`m staying in chicago to work and go to school

and fuck off with my shitty fucking band

and he said: brendan you should try it, it makes you feel so good

brendan you should try it, it makes you feel so good

so i threw away a stereo and some clothes to show i understood

down on the gold coast the people look so happy

money gets you laid, i saw it on tv

a brand new car, vcr a satellite dish

and a 6 pack are just a few parts of this american dream

well my friend had a dream to be free

he made it come true by giving away his tv

yeah my friend had a dream to be free

he made it come true with a backpack and his feet

when i walk along the city streets no one smiles or talks to me

i`ve seen possessions that run people`s lives

everything we own makes us afraid to be friends

sharing used to be natural it`ll never be that way again

my friend relearned to be a human being

how to stop and talk to people on the streets

he gave everything he owns away

and lives his dream with a backpack and his feet.
