Mount Shrink Wrap lyrics

I used to sell a lot of things CD`s Records Tshirts and Magazines

I used to sell a lot of things, patches and sticker

So I could buy guitar strings

I used to buy a lot of things

Cigarettes, and coffee and gasoline

It kinda sucks when you`re in a band

You gotta pollute the air, just to travel across the land

It just got me down

I just get in the car and drive from town to town

I tell people not to drive, but im just a clown

Cuz I drive more than anyone Yeah,

I just drive around

Tell people to eat right and follow their heart.

But you know I`m not very smart

Cuz I get my dinner at the mini-mart

I went to the demonstration to say no war for oil.

And the cops sprayed mace in my face

We go on tour in the summer, but the van`s got a leak.

We spray oil all over the place.

I went to see Judi Bari talk about saving some redwood trees.

And she sang some songs

She didn`t use no electricity

She didn`t have to press up no cds

She didn`t have to make no booklets or sleeves

She didn`t have to kill nothing to say her peace

And it got me to thinking about

How maybe I`m just too attached.

To people talking about my latest record

Selling shit and getting tax free cash

And it got me to thinking about

How I`mnot really living the life I`m talking about

So I gave it up, and I left the city

Got a place with a yard and I planted myself a garden

I used to sell a lot of things

Until I found out how many

About 15,000 of each release

That`s roughly one mountain of shrink wrap

I used to buy a lot of things

But you know I`ll just sit and watch my garden grow

And when the summer time comes

I`ll just eat from my garden and live like a bum

I`m gonna put some roots down

And I`m gonna grow
