[Verse 1]
Well, I’m sorry I canʼt stop and chat
No, I wonʼt be signing up for that
It’s okay, Iʼm a terrible person
Well, I wanna save the whales too
But it's a fucking Wednesday afternoon
So a canvas bag and a smile is the best I've got for you
[Chorus]
All the things they do, I donʼt disagree
Hug a tree for me, hug a tree for me
If I could only quit my job, I’d join the hippy elite
Hug a tree for me, hug a tree for me
If I could only quit my job, I’d join the hippy elite
[Verse 2]
Well, I havenʼt thrown myself in the road yet
Or chained myself to a jumbo jet
Avoidin' plastic's not very dramatic, is it?
But one time I cycled all the way home
'Cause this planet is our only one
But nobody saw it and I, I felt all the worse for it
It wasnʼt my bike
[Chorus]
All the things they do, I donʼt disagree
Hug a tree for me, hug a tree for me
If I could only quit my job, I’d join the hippy elite
Hug a tree for me, hug a tree for me
If I could only quit my job, I’d join the hippy elite
[Verse 3]
If I had all that money in my pocket
Drink all that local beer and ride that eco-rocket
Organically hand-fed idols, transient low-res primal
You know we all just do the best we can
And time and tideʼll wait for no woman
But I canʼt clean up the entire ocean on my lunch break
Oh no
[Chorus]
All the things they do, I donʼt disagree
Hug a tree for me, hug a tree for me
If I could only quit my job, I’d join the hippy elite
(I would tell everybody)
Hug a tree for me, hug a tree for me
(?)
If I could only quit my job, I’d join the hippy elite
