Mount Shrink Wrap Lyrics - Fifteen

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
