Poem
I'm a Tree Huggin', Soy Chuggin', I won't eat no meat I'm a vegan of convenience, Still, there's leather on my feet I don't believe in lots of things I'll protest and attack But you won't find me out in front 'Cause I'll be in the back I give money to my causes Save the whales, electric cars But I'm not one to lead the fight "Cause I don't like the scars Bricks get thrown alot you see And those things bloody hurt And I'm not a happy camper When there's blood upon my shirt I won't eat seeds of any sort They get stuck in my teeth My clothes are all from LL Bean Except what's underneath Way back in the sixties I lived communaly We ate only what the earth gave up We didn't watch tv As years passed by, our voices died Our causes became much rarer We sounded more like Manilow Than Phil Ochs or Tom Lehrer I choose fine wine over wheatgrass juice I like leather and wear silk I no longer go and get the goat So we can have fresh milk I'm a Tree Huggin', Soy Chuggin', I won't eat no meat I'm a vegan of convenience, Still, there's leather on my feet I don't believe in lots of things I'll protest and attack But you won't find me out in front 'Cause I'll be in the back I've changed lots since the sixties I'm a capitalist blood hound If I said I'm a true vegan My board would see me drowned I used to wear just cotton Hemp and caftans and blue jeans Leather shoes and belts and jackets Were just not part of my scene My friends, well, they grew up And others stayed in touch The ones with money see me The others not so much I used to go out jogging Through the park in puma shoes Now I workout in a private gym Wearing nikes and with my crew You see I'm still a vegan When it suits me, don't you see My new girlfriend likes organic And she's only twenty three There's forty years between us Though I've done it all before When my girlfriend is not with me I am a carnivore I support all of her causes Though most things I don't attend I'll be a vegan of convenience Until our courtship ends Who knows, what then will happen Will I eat Tofu or some chops I know which way I'm leaning We'll see how that one drops Like I said when we first started I am a vegan, so I am But instead of eating quinoa I'll stick to eggs and ham. I'm a Tree Huggin', Soy Chuggin', I won't eat no meat I'm a vegan of convenience, Still, there's leather on my feet I don't believe in lots of things I'll protest and attack But you won't find me out in front 'Cause I'll be in the back
