Lyrics

I come from not far from here
 A long time ago
 Spent years on that mountain
 Before they even built this town below
 I had a place on the ridge
 With a view for miles around
 Until the day those men came up
 And dragged me into town
 A shame what they did to me
 It's a crying shame
 It was a shame the way they treated me
 Back in town they beat me down so bad
 I passed into something else
 And when I woke, I looked
 I couldn't even recognize myself
 I was a completely covered in useless information
 Anyone looking could see
 In the back of a truck with a rubber band
 Stuck around what was left of me
 The next thing I know I'm thrown in a yard
 Where I wait a while and then
 This old man walks out in a bathrobe
 Picks me up and walks me back in
 And he freed me from that rubber band alright
 But in what seemed like a flash
 He glanced me over once and then
 He threw me into the trash
 Well, that's how I ended up
 On this land fill, here lying around
 Waiting for this big old pile of garbage we're on
 To work its way back underground
 Where I hope to grow up tall again
 Maybe even right here on this very spot
 Might seem like a pipe dream to you
 But doll face it's all I got
 You see man seems to think
 The world was made for him
 And that might be true
 But there's is a crack in every side walk
 Where the grass breaks through
 You know what I'm saying, baby
 Stick with me
 Someday you may have it made
 In the shade of a tree
 Someday you may have it made
 In the shade of a tree
