Free Coffee Town

I've been listening to this song all day. It's the current favorite, just because it's so stupid and funny. Ben Folds:
They were really horrible words. He writes these really earnest lyrics from the point of view of someone who's really short on brain cells. Like, 'In Jared Reynolds' free coffee town utopia the dirt is chocolate, beer flows from the ground and every woman you see makes out with you right there in the chocolate dirt.' It's just so dumb. I'd be thrilled [if it went to Number One.]
I wanna live in a land where there's free coffee
and the beer flows out of the ground.
The women are nice and they dont think twice
about kissing you and fooling around.

I wanna live in a place where there's lots of diamonds
and the parties last 'till dawn.
The fights don't hurt and there's chocolate dirt
and the weed is grown instead of the lawn.

Is there such a place? Well, I guess there could be
if we all could be so gentle; if we all could be so free... coffee.

Is there such a place? Well, I guess there could be
if we all could be so gentle; if we all could be so free... coffee.

I wanna live in a place where there's free coffee.
Bury me in the ground.
I'll have a smile on my face; I love life
in this free coffee town!

Is there such a place? Well, I guess there could be
if we all could be so gentle; if we all could be so free... coffee.
