Tree Huggers

I'd rather have a shitty girlfriend than a shitty car If my girlfriend starts to get on my nerves I can travel really far I'd rather have a shitty meal than a shitty resume 'cause a totally awesome resume will feed me steak one day I'd rather have a shitty body than a shitty voice On my body I can wear some clothes but with my voice I have no choice

Feed me peas & feed me corn & feed me wild oats Let's move to the hills together & raise some chicken & goats I don't need Tofu if I've got you to help me forget those buggers We'll forget our differences & live like a couple of tree huggers

The earth is so polluted I can never walk barefoot-ouch On earth day I was going to plant some trees But I planted my ass on the couch I try to eat what's good for me but I like Captain Crunch & an extra large snickers bar & a glass of hawaiian punch I was going to join an ad hoc commitee But I don't know what ad hoc means I think it's a special kind of rock for stonewashed denim jeans

Feed me peas & feed me corn & feed me wild oats let's move to the hills together & raise some chicken & goats I don't need Tofu if I've got you to help me forget those buggers we'll forget our differences & live like a couple of tree huggers
I went to a special school for kids whose parents were Catholic On hot dog day we could wear what we wanted I always ate 4 & got sick Once I kissed a girl behind the convent & I got really flustered I'll never forget the way she smelled she tasted just like mustard Now every time I go to the market & I reach for the mustard row I have to hurry up & leave or my crotch begins to grow

Feed me peas & feed me corn & feed me wild oats let's move to the hills together & raise some chicken & goats I don't need Tofu if I've got you to help me forget those buggers we'll forget our differences & live like a couple of tree huggers

As a child I was pretty sick I could make my arm come out of the socket I used to like a Girl Scout once she put her hand inside my pocket I used to go to church alot I was an alter boy I got to ring the bells at Communion time It gave me special joy I don't know what I believe in now I'm filled with foggy guilt I'm to scared not to believe in God I never touch myself under my quilt

Feed me peas & feed me corn & feed me wild oats let's move to the hills together & raise some chicken & goats I don't need Tofu if I've got you to help me forget those buggers everyday'll be hot dog day & we'll live like a couple of tree huggers
