Trashcan World (feat. Jason Katz)

I'm a trashcan person

Living right beneath your thumb

If you and your family saw me

You might call me a bum

But everything around me still glitters

In this land filled with gold

Every fool has some redemption

Hidden deep within their soul

So-- let me into your restaurant please

Your sign says nothing about a short-sleeve tee

And as for my shoeless feet

I swear they're really clean

I'm a trashcan person

Living like a tumbleweed

So please watch your feet when you're walking

So that you don't step on me

Cause everything around me still glimmers

Everything around me is a'glow

Everything I see is a wonder

And a beauty to behold

But -- maybe give me some room to breathe

In this society

Somewhere for me to sleep

That's not littered with your debris

I'm a trashcan person

In this trashcan of a world

But it's not as bad as all that

When your neighbor is a squirrel

Cause everything around me still glitters

In this pseudo-scientific hell

Every nut has some fruition

Hidden deep within its shell

So-- don't call me grouchy please

My hair's not even green

And this dumpster-diving street

Ain't close to Sesame

I'm a trashcan person

Devalued and whose worth

Was left behind by an omission

In our constitution's words

But everything around me still glimmers

Everything around me is a'glow

Everything I see is a wonder

And a beauty to behold
