Built To Spill - Planting Seeds Lyrics
I'd hand it to time
If I knew where the time had gone
The connoisseurs were wrong
And so was everyone else
'Cause that's all they talk about
Just need to figure out
Some shit for myself
And just because it's obvious
Doesn't mean it's even true
Heard it all and I believe that we deserve another
Point of view
We can make it if we try
'Cause our minds are still alive
And we can decide what's right
Make up your mind
Make up your own mythology
Afraid of finding me
And of defining you
Take what you want
But you won't want it where you're at
I know this for a fact
Just because it's so true
The first place my mind goes
Is where I never want it to
Like where it hurts the most of all
The stupid shit I say and do
We can make it if we try
And if we don't, it's gonna still be alright
'Cause our minds are still alive
And we can decide what's right
Telling me thousands of times what's next to want
Just doing their job but you know that's a dirty job
Can't stand this game, still we're bullied to play along
When bullies grow up, they get meaner, yeah, they really get it down
They think that they get it
But they always get it wrong
They'll play your favorite song
Just to sell shit to you
I've heard that they'll sell anything
And I think they might
I think Bill Hicks was right
About what they should do
And just because you love something doesn't mean it's yours to buy
Been selling it so long that no one even knows the reason why
You've been messing with our minds
Getting rich wasting our time

This album got me though 2018.
I'd hand it to time
If I knew where the time had gone
The connoisseurs were wrong
And so was everyone else
I know what they're saying
'Cause that's all they talk about
Just need to figure out
Some shit for myself
And just because it's obvious
Doesn't mean it's even true
Heard it all and I believe that we deserve another
Point of view
We can make it if we try
And if we don't, it's gonna still be alright
'Cause our minds are still alive
And we can decide what's right
Make up your mind
Make up your own mythology
Afraid of finding me
And of defining you
Take what you want
But you won't want it where you're at
I know this for a fact
Just because it's so true
The first place my mind goes
Is where I never want it to
Like where it hurts the most of all
The stupid shit I say and do
We can make it if we try
And if we don't, it's gonna still be alright
'Cause our minds are still alive
And we can decide what's right
Telling me thousands of times what's next to want
Just doing their job but you know that's a dirty job
Can't stand this game, still we're bullied to play along

My, Doug has a way of singing everything like it's the most important thing in the world -- and it often almost is. This is resonant in a commercial society, defeated and yet defiant. The bridge is pure power - - "when bullies grow up they get meaner."
I love the noodling in the beginning but it's still the overdubbed guitar parts that kick in around :42 that just jolt my spine every time, sucker for the grandeur.
Also love that little sting after "they'll play your favorite song" at 3:35, just sounds so mean.
Perfect song. From now on
perfect
starting now
"When bullies grow up they get meaner
yeah they really get it down." = TRUE
probably my favorite song of the last ten years. Great track
@RamzesII kind of like how Hey Babe just kicks in, I hear it
bill hicks :)
soo good. dont know this band... i feel like this a golden REM song i always loved but never knew
Has a little Neil Young'esque feel to it :) Good song
LOVE THIS SONG! and love the message.
this is great
No video. Just a great song. "they'll play your favorite song. just to sell sh*t to you."
I've been listening the fuck out of this album's songs since I bought it the other day.
First really listened to the lyrics in this song today on the way home. Started to think of Bill Hicks, then got freaked out when I heard his name. Then again when I realized what the name of the song was.
Search youtube for "Bill Hicks on Marketing" if you want some context.
the guitar that explodes in the A minor is awesome!
@MrAlstec i was referring to the lyrics, they are incomplete
must play this every time i go anywhere. most unique guitar sound ive heard in years.
verse 3 is about 4 minutes in
wheres verse three? the part about, just bacause you love something doesnt mean its yours to (buy) i think.
cuz our minds are still alive
and we can decide why
make up your mind make up your own mythology
afraid of finding me
and of defining you
take what you want but you won't want it where your at
I know this for a fact
just because it's so true
the first place my mind goes is where I never want it to
like where it hurts the most or all the stupid shit I say and do
I'd hand it to time if I knew where the time had gone
the connoisseurs were wrong
so was everyone else
I know what they're saying cuz that's all they talk about
just need to figure out
some shit for myself
and just because it's obvious doesn't mean it's even true
heard it all and I believe that we deserve another point of view
we can make it if we try
and if we don't it's gonna still be alright
