The Basics and Stuff

Didn't come from nothing but I didn't come from much We had what we needed, the basics and stuff Our toys were wooden, our clothes were old The water ran brown and stank when the tank got low And Jesse would play guitar every day I'd sit in the sun, he'd sit in the shade I didn't come from nothing but I didn't come from much Our parents were teachers, and they taught us Just to lie in the long grass, staring at the ants Meditating before I knew what that meant When we'd get those funny looks from the passers by Tapping their temple, saying 'are we alright' I think it only made me more and more myself I knew who had raised me and that I could do quite well But i left so soon I left so soon I left so soon I left so soon I left so soon I left so soon Didn't come from nothing but I didn't come from much Had what we needed, the basics and stuff
