Hippy Elite

[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
