Near my place through the forest and the wood chopped   You can see everything from a fenced-off hill top   From rolling hills through soaking gills   From the gravel path, to the chimney's wrath      Even I can be pretentious, even I can give it meaning   Even I can be pretentious, even I can give it meaning   Give a bit of meaning, give a bit of meaning      Saw an old drunk, stuck up a tree   I coulda said that's my life but that's not me   It could be said, I was under lead   It could be said that I would wind up dead      But even I can be pretentious, even I can give it meaning   Even I can be pretentious, even I can give it meaning   Even I can give it meaning, give a bit of meaning, give a bit of meaning      Saw an old drunk, stuck up a tree   I Coulda said that's my life but that's not me   It Could be said, I was under lead   It could be said that I would wind up dead      Even I can be pretentious, even I can give it meaning   Even I can be pretentious, even I can give it meaning   Even I can give it meaning, even I can give it meaning
