Hollister Ave
I'm ridin' down Hollister Ave,
Past all the things I'll never have,
Cars and trucks and motor-bikes,
Guided by the painted stripes,
Graphic signs and neon lights,
Glowing brightly through the night,
Fancy million-dollar homes,
Fiber-optic telephones,
Doctors that'll fix your bones,
With medicine I don't condone,
None of this I'll ever need,
Peer pressure I shan't heed,
Share and barter, use again,
I shall only own what can,
Fit into one small bed-room,
Otherwise, it's on the moon...
