about

An urbanite can dream of a rural life but never actually leave the city out of fear and attachment.

lyrics

I wanna be a technology-free naked vegetarian
I wanna be a bark-loving, simple-living, primitivistic aquarian
I don’t wanna participate in the frenzied rate of nature rape that stakes our planetarium
I just wanna live like a forest-aged, out of cage humanitarian

This twisted city system I’ve been stuck in
Feels like a chain of bricks that rips my back's skin
I wanna plant some seeds
I wanna hear some bees
I wanna pee from ancient tree while high on fragrant breeze

But you know what? It ain’t easy
Climbing a tree takes steady knees
And skill and will and hope and …
Jeez, I’m a city boy
Elevators are perfect for me.
They take me up and I just have to touch and see

So all of this poetry talk really is just a tease
‘Cause even though I dream of surrounding green
I buy my soy milk at the drugstore
And my whole wheat bread and my almond butter …
Straight off the rack in a pack from the back

And you know what else?
The money I make teaching Spanish
Let’s just say I don’t need it to vanish
Cause here
I can buy micro-brewed beer
A CCM bicyle
And the smartest cell phone
Every two years

What more could a modern guy need
Aside from some love through a pixeled feed?

Ooh, I would love to get away from this grid
And the clutter and noise at once get rid
But I can’t really do it
Cause I’m trapped like a fluid
In a bottle sealed shut
Made of plastic and stuck
In a factory case
In a shipping cage
To be sold as water
In its purest
purest
purest
state
