25 Degrees North Lyrics

my friend gave everything he owns awaymy friend says he's happier that wayhe says did you ever notice the more you own, the more worries you have?i thought about my rent check and my bank account and couldn't help but understandhe told me that he's going back to santa cruz to live on a boatwithout a phone or a thing in his handsand i'm staying in chicago to work and go to schooland fuck off with my shitty fucking bandand he said: brendan you should try it, it makes you feel so goodbrendan you should try it, it makes you feel so goodso i threw away a stereo and some clothes to show i understooddown on the gold coast the people look so happymoney gets you laid, i saw it on tva brand new car, vcr a satellite dish and a 6 pack are just a few parts of this american dreamwell my friend had a dream to be freehe made it come true by giving away his tvyeah my friend had a dream to be freehe made it come true with a backpack and his feetwhen i walk along the city streets no one smiles or talks to mei've seen possessions that run people's liveseverything we own makes us afraid to be friendssharing used to be natural it'll never be that way againmy friend relearned to be a human beinghow to stop and talk to people on the streetshe gave everything he owns awayand lives hisd ream with a backpack and his feet.
