Lyrics

My friend gave everything he owned away
And my friend says now he's happier that way
He said, "Did you ever notice
That the more you own, the more worries you have?"
I thought about my red check and my bank account
I couldn't help but understand
He told me that he's going back to Santa Cruz
To live on a boat without a phone or a thing in his hands
I'm staying in Chicago to work and go to school
And fuck off with my shitty fucking band
And he said, "Brendan, you should try it
It makes you feel so good
Brendan, you should try it
It makes you feel so good"
So I threw away his stereo and some clothes
To show I understood
Down on the Gold Coast, the people look so happy
Money gets you laid, I saw it on TV
A bank card, VCR, satellite dish
And a six-pack
Just a few parts of the American Dream
Well, my friend had a dream to be free
Made it come true by giving away his TV
Yeah, my friend had a dream to be free
Made it come true with a backpack and his feet
When I walk along the city streets
No one smiles or talks to me
I see possessions that run people's lives
Everything we own makes us afraid to be friends
Sharing used to be natural, now it wouldn't be that way again
But my friend relearned how to be a human being
While I sat and talked with people on the street
He gave everything he owned away
He lived his dream with a backpack and his feet
