One, two, one, two, three, four
I remember when I was a young man
My mama took me to the store
And I was scared out of my mind
As I stared at that dressing room door
I was like: "what if the pants are
Too bright, too dark, too baggie, too light
Too big, wrong cut, or too tight and mom was like:
"Just be yourself, son
Whatever you choose will be right"
Well, it's like she knew my very soul
'Cause the pants I bought that day would change my life
I left that store with a uniform
That I was wearing when I met my wife
And at my first pop-rock show
And when I touched my first boob
And the first time I read thoreau
I did it all in my
T-shirt and jeans
That's right, it doesn't mean anything
People who know me know
That I try not to say too much just with my clothes
And if you wanna get to know me, man
We're gonna have to talk
So that you can find out who I am
(T-shirt and jeans)
Well, jeans are pretty great
They're durable and comfortable
They're pants made out of plants
So it's hard to argue they're unethical
And a shirt can say a little or a lot
I'm a fan of unironic images of things I like
Like giraffes or my youtube friends or bands
Or chickens, Jesus, nerds or bikes.
But if you really wanna know what I love
Most about this wardrobe
It's that it tells you very little
About what lies beneath these clothes
Just by looking at me
You would never know if I'm a
Thousandaire or a billionaire
I wanna tell you with my mouth
Not with the clothes I wear
Well, I think it's odd how when we rebel
We put on uniforms
Like eyeliner or fancy pants
That come factory pre-torn.
It's easy to say
That a guy must be a certain way
Just because he dresses offbeat
And a subcultural shortcut
Might be what he's going for
But it's always gonna be incomplete
Yeah, we're never really ever gonna know what that means
Which is I why wear...
T-shirt and jeans
That's right, it doesn't mean anything
People who know me know
That I try not to say too much just with my clothes
And if you wanna get to know me, man
We're gonna have to talk
So that you can find out who I am
We're gonna have to talk
So that you can find out who I am
Yeah, we're gonna have to talk
So that you can find out who I am
Well, we're gonna have to talk
So that you can find out who I am
