Fifteen - 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
