They call it homeless, I guess<\/p>\n
I say I’m home-free<\/p>\n
The style of life I choose to live is purely up to me
\nSo forgive me when I’m confused by your pity,
\nI pity you
\nSpending most your days doing things that you don’t want to do<\/p>\n
In order to what, survive?
\nOr should I say maintain your excess?
\nYour flatscreen, your A\/C, your mortgage, haircuts for your pets?<\/p>\n
You think the need to sacrifice the prime years of your life for things
\nIs better than sacrificing creature comforts for freedom and all the joy it brings?<\/p>\n
Please…<\/p>\n
Keep your cars and fancy cheese, your prozac and sleeping pills
\nYour mattresses and waitresses and need to purchase all your thrills<\/p>\n
I wake up with the sun and treat each day as the unknown
\nI relish my autonomy like you relish your home
\nAnd best of all, to have this freedom I don’t need to pay
\nWhile you live a life of servitude and work 8 or more hours every day
\nI’m doing what I will and going where I want and living as I please
\nThe only thing to pity is your society.<\/p>\n
