Chop Wood, Carry Water Lyrics

I don't need much, I just want a love

We can build a little cabin in the woods while we're young

It's a goddamn shame that this world is so lost

It's a hundred thousand dollars just to live on a bus

And the food we eat's from a whole different world

The water's getting muddied by the ridge

There's grocery stores where there ought to be fields

We could grow everything that we need instead

We could chop wood and carry water

Build a new world all our own

I'd feel less alone by myself in a forest

than a room full of people on their phones

So give us not this day our daily bread

Let us grow the wheat and cut it down ourselves

Because we don't need no handouts from above

or to sit around and wait for someone else

We could chop wood and carry water

Build a new world all our own

Because I'd feel less alone by myself in the forest

than a room full of people on their phones

I don't need much, I just want a love

We can build a little cabin in the woods while we're young
