[Verse 1: Ryan Miller]
Doesn't it bring you down
So many lights and sounds

[Refrain: Miller, Adam Gardner & Luke Reynolds/Miller]
Call your mom on the telephone
Tell her you're coming home
Tell her there's not a chance
You're ever going to change the world

[Chorus: Miller/Miller & Gardner]
If you want to be free take a sip of this tea
Join the red oyster cult
If you drink the whole cup you will never grow up
You will never grow old

[Verse 2: Miller]
Remember when you were fourteen
You'd paint ever picture so green

[Refrain: Miller, Gardner & Reynolds/Miller]
Call your mom on the telephone
Tell her your muse is gone
Tell her there's not a chance
You're ever going to change the world
Just a few drops away
You'll never want to change the world
[Chorus: Miller/Miller & Gardner]
If you want to be free take a sip of this tea
Join the red oyster cult
If you drink the whole cup you will never grow up
You will never grow

[Outro: Miller & Gardner/Miller]
Call your mom on the telephone
Tell her you're coming home
Tell her there's not a chance
You're ever going to change the world
Just a few drops away
You're never gonna change
