Minimalist
Lyrics
In this materialistic world
We've been programmed to always want more
Well you know what I say
Not anymore
I may be only one man
But I'm a man with a plan
I'm gonna go and live in my van
Get rid of everything I can and live with just
One spoon, two shoes, some old screws
My collector's edition of Blues Clues
My iPhone, headphones, some old bones
Bread loaves, both my parent's headstones
Mini fridge, the board game Bridge
My Nintendo switch, A DVD of Hitch
And I gotta bring my wallet, don't forget the kitchen faucet
Sneak some chocolate in my pocket and my hat like Davey Crocket
A Halloween photo when I dressed up as a witch
Gotta bring my Lego model of the Golden Gate Bridge
My Harry Potter snitch, my Harry Potter wand
Seven frogs I found in a nearby pond
Socks, some slacks, my antique toy train tracks
Some rocks, an ax, all books on income tax
I'm gonna sacrifice for this van life
Gotta pay the price to see paradise
No, I will not cry when I say goodbye to all of my stuff
I'll find what the minimal is
Cause I am a minimalist
Living only with
My bassoon, thirteen balloons, hand-drawn cartoons a family of raccoons
My poster of Pacino, numbered balls for bingo, inflatable flamingo, driver named Francisco
Without a doubt, I'll bring my WiFi router, pot full of chowder, hot sauce chili powder, my pet fish Flounder
Creepy clown who frowns, dirt from the ground in mounds, ultrasound, hunting hounds, sixty pounds of grass I found
All of the mice from here to Quebec, a full body pillow in the shape of Shrek
High tech specs for science projects, a tied-up angry racist redneck
Three restored ancient Indian canoes, a soft fuzzy blanket that's chartreuse
A full-size grill for barbecues, a cardboard cutout of Tom Cruise
Wood to burn, a full time paid intern
Some yarn, a fern, my wife's ashes in an urn
I'm gonna sacrifice for this van life
Gotta pay the price to see paradise
Lighters in the sky for a guy who gets by with just enough
I'll find what the minimal is
Cause I am a minimalist
I'm only keeping the essentials that I can't leave behind
I bought a trailer for my trailer and I'll pull it all behind
Because I want it all, I need it all, pack it wall to wall for the long hall
I've got tons of stuff but it's not enough but like Shia LaBeouf
(Nothing is impossible, what are you waiting for, do it)
Gotta sacrifice for this van life
Gotta pay the price to see paradise
My stuff I deny 'Cept like everything cause that would be tough
I'll find what the minimal is
Cause I am a
And the van tires popped from all the weight…
Yep saw that coming
All right folks show's over
Let's move it all back inside, please
Chop chop get moving Francisco
Intern, I'm not paying you full time for nothing
Help me grab this tied up angry racist red neck
Grab his legs
Right there
Yep all right up the stairs
Come on
Keep that truck coming, Francisco
All right drop it right here
Good thing I didn't get rid of anything
In this materialistic world
We've been programmed to always want more
Well you know what I say
Not anymore
I may be only one man
But I'm a man with a plan
I'm gonna go and live in my van
Get rid of everything I can and live with just
