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   'cause 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   'cause 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
