A Friend For Life

Well I talk to the animals day after day

And together we figure it out

Yeah we meet by the bramble bush down by the stream

And discuss their concerns and their doubts

Well I don’t know what I’m looking for

But it sure don’t have two legs

This is no sad sorry metaphor

This is no sad soft pretence

These are the creatures above and beyond my integrity

Forging ahead when the corporates are dead

Once the Sun’s up, we’ll meet by the river and

Once we’re tooled up, we’ll stand and deliver

Gonna leave their cold confusion far behind

But who needs a gun or a military base

I want a friend for life, with just the one face

Gonna leave their comprehension far behind

Well I walk with the animals mile after mile

And together we strike up a deal

We don’t hound or harass, we don’t mimic or grass

We just happily graze in the fields

Well I don’t know what I’m looking for

But it sure don’t speak your language

With a trusty silent herbivore

You can live without such anguish

These are the creatures above and beyond my integrity

Forging ahead when the fat cats are dead

Once the Sun’s up, we’ll meet by the river and

Once we’re tooled up, we’ll stand and deliver

Gonna leave their cold confusion far behind

Sometimes I find myself mesmorized by the greatest hell I’ve ever seen

The greatest stampede

But who wants to stand and fight, all I want is a friend for life

And now it starts to ring

This is such a hippy thing, this is such a hippy thing

Once the Sun’s up, we’ll meet by the river and

Once we’re tooled up, we’ll stand and deliver

Gonna leave their cold confusion far behind

But who needs a gun or a military base

I want a friend for life, with just the one face

Gonna leave their comprehension far behind

Standing in a field is just not quite as strange as what you do
