"So, I wanna live in a wooden house,

Making more friends would be easy,

I wanna live where the sun comes out."

"I want to fly and never come down and live my life and have friends around."

  • In the woods, we return to reason and faith. (Emerson, "Nature")
  • "It is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude." (Emerson, "Self-Reliance")
  • “Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.” (Thoreau, "Walden")
  • "I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary." (Thoreau, "Walden")
  • "Live deliberately." (Thoreau, "Walden")

"Me and all my friends, we're all misunderstood

They say we stand for nothing

And there's no way we ever could"

"Now we see everything that's going wrong with the world and those who lead it,

We just feel like we don't have the means to rise above and beat it."

"Now if we had the power

To bring our neighbors home from war

They would have never missed a Christmas

No more ribbons on their door."

Mayer doesn't believe in the power of the

individual or civil disobedience, two ideas that Thoreau and Emerson emphasized.
