Well I'm sorry I canʼt stop and chat
No I wonʼt be signing up for that
It's ok Iʼm a terrible person
Well I wanna save the whales too
But its a fuckin Wednesday afternoon
So a canvas bag and a smile is the best Iʼve got for you


All the things they do I donʼt disagree
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 havenʼt 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
Cos this planet is our only one
But nobody saw it and I
I felt all the worse for it –
It wasnʼt my bike

All the things they do I donʼt 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 feed Idols
Transient low-res primal
You know we all just do the best we can
And time and tideʼll wait for no woman
But I canʼt clean the entire ocean on my lunch break
Oh no
All the things they do I donʼt disagree
Hug a tree for me, hug a tree for me
If I could only quit my job I'd join the Hippy Elite
(I would tell everybody)
Hug a tree for me, hug a tree for me
(?)
If I could only quit my job I'd join the Hippy Elite
