Well, I'm sorry I can't stop and chat
No I won't be signing up for that
It's ok, I'm a terrible person
Well, I wanna save the whales too
But it's a fuckin' Wednesday afternoon
So a canvas bag and a smile
Is the best I've got for you

All the things they do, I don't disagree
Hug a tree for me, hug a tree for me
If I could only quit my job
I'd join the hippy elite
Hug a tree for me, hug a tree for me
If I could only quit my job
I'd join the hippy elite

Well, I haven't thrown myself in the road yet
Or chained myself to a jumbo jet
Avoidin' plastics not very dramatic is it?
But one time I cycled all the way home
'Cause this planet is our only one
But nobody saw it and I
I felt all the worse for it
It wasn't my bike

All the things they do I don't disagree
Hug a tree for me, hug a tree for me
If I could only quit my job
I'd join the hippy elite
Hug a tree for me, hug a tree for me
If I could only quit my job
I'd join the hippy elite

If I had all that money in my pocket
Drink all that local beer and ride that eco-rocket
Organically hand fed idols
Transient low-res primal
You know we all just do the best we can
And time and tide'll wait for no woman
But I can't clean the entire ocean on my lunch break
Oh no

All the things they do I don't disagree
Hug a tree for me, hug a tree for me
If I could only quit my job
I'd join the hippy elite
Hug a tree for me (I would tell everybody, I just shop locally)
Hug a tree for me (my bamboo finer than it, I'll take a rhino, baby)
If I could only quit my job
I'd join the hippy elite
