I come from not far from here[00:00:16]
A long time ago[00:00:17]
Spent years on that mountain[00:00:20]
Before they even built this town below[00:00:21]
Had a place on the ridge[00:00:24]
With a view for miles around[00:00:25]
Until the day those men came up[00:00:27]
And dragged me into town[00:00:30]
A shame what they did to me[00:00:34]
It's a crying shame[00:00:37]
It was a shame the way they treated me[00:00:39]
Back in town they beat me down so bad[00:00:44]
That I passed into something else[00:00:46]
And when I woke I looked[00:00:48]
I couldn't even recognize myself[00:00:49]
I was a completely covered in useless information[00:00:51]
Anyone looking could see[00:00:54]
In the back of a truck with a rubber band[00:00:56]
Stuck around what was left of me[00:00:58]
The next thing I know I'm thrown in a yard[00:01:00]
Where I wait a while and then[00:01:02]
This old man walks out in a bathrobe[00:01:04]
Picks me up and walks me back in[00:01:06]
And he freed me from that rubber band alright[00:01:08]
But in what seemed like a flash[00:01:10]
He glanced me once and then[00:01:12]
He threw me into the trash[00:01:14]
That's how I ended up[00:01:17]
On this land fill here lying around[00:01:18]
Waiting for this big old pile of garbage were on[00:01:20]
To work its way back under ground[00:01:22]
Where I hope to grow up tall again[00:01:24]
Maybe right here on this very spot[00:01:26]
Might seem like a pipe dream to you[00:01:28]
But doll face its all I got[00:01:30]
You see man seems to think the world was made for him[00:01:52]
And that might be true[00:01:55]
But there's is a crack in every side walk[00:01:56]
Where the grass breaks through[00:01:58]
You know what I'm saying baby[00:02:00]
Stick with me[00:02:02]
Someday you may have it made in the shade of a tree[00:02:04]
Someday you may have it made in the shade of a tree[00:02:08]
