Lyrics:
I come from not far from hereA long time agoSpent years on that mountainBefore they even built this town belowI had a place on the ridgeWith a view for miles aroundUntil the day those men came upAnd dragged me into townA shame what they did to meIt's a crying shameIt was a shame the way they treated meBack in town they beat me down so badI passed into something elseAnd when I woke, I lookedI couldn't even recognize myselfI was a completely covered in useless informationAnyone looking could seeIn the back of a truck with a rubber bandStuck around what was left of meThe next thing I know I'm thrown in a yardWhere I wait a while and thenThis old man walks out in a bathrobePicks me up and walks me back inAnd he freed me from that rubber band alrightBut in what seemed like a flashHe glanced me over once and thenHe threw me into the trashWell, that's how I ended upOn this land fill, here lying aroundWaiting for this big old pile of garbage we're onTo work its way back undergroundWhere I hope to grow up tall againMaybe even right here on this very spotMight seem like a pipe dream to youBut doll face it's all I gotYou see man seems to thinkThe world was made for himAnd that might be trueBut there's is a crack in every side walkWhere the grass breaks throughYou know what I'm saying, babyStick with meSomeday you may have it madeIn the shade of a treeSomeday you may have it madeIn the shade of a tree
