Lyrics Built to Spill

Built to Spill

Planting Seeds

I'd hand it to time

If I knew where the time had gone

The connoisseurs were wrong

And so was everyone else

I know what they're saying

'Cause that's all they talk about

Just need to figure out

Some shit for myself

And just because it's obvious

Doesn't mean it's even true

Heard it all and I believe that we deserve another

Point of view

We can make it if we try

And if we don't, it's gonna still be alright

'Cause our minds are still alive

And we can decide what's right

Make up your mind

Make up your own mythology

Afraid of finding me

And of defining you

Take what you want

But you won't want it where you're at

I know this for a fact

Just because it's so true

The first place my mind goes

Is where I never want it to

Like where it hurts the most of all

The stupid shit I say and do

We can make it if we try

And if we don't, it's gonna still be alright

'Cause our minds are still alive

And we can decide what's right

Telling me thousands of times what's next to want

Just doing their job but you know that's a dirty job

Can't stand this game, still we're bullied to play along

When bullies grow up, they get meaner, yeah, they really get it down

They think that they get it

But they always get it wrong

They'll play your favorite song

Just to sell shit to you

I've heard that they'll sell anything

And I think they might

I think Bill Hicks was right

About what they should do

And just because you love something doesn't mean it's yours to buy

Been selling it so long that no one even knows the reason why

You've been messing with our minds

Getting rich wasting our time
