"My Mind Is for Sale" is a song by American musician Jack Johnson. The song was released on July 14, 2017, and is the lead single for his seventh studio album All the Light Above It Too.
Production
The song, and album was produced by long time companion with Jack Johnson, Robbie Lackritz, and recorded at "Mango Tree Studio." The song and album were mostly inspired by the sayings of Donald Trump, surfing, and camping. Also, Johnson had just recently worked on the short documentary, "Smog of the Sea," and released his song "Fragments." The documentary took a one-week journey through the sea to study animals, and sea creatures. This got Johnson thinking about what Trump has said about pollution and global warming, and has also included this in his album.
Meaning
Johnson says that the song is generally about Trump trying to put up a border wall in between the United States and Mexico. The song also talks about Trump's general attitude during the election.

The song was released as a single on July 14, 2017, along with the pre-order of Johnson's new album. A one track CD single was released for the song along with "Sunsets for Somebody Else" on August 18, 2017. On the same day as the song's release, an Anti-Trump lyric video was released. The video had a budget of $0 and was shot using Johnson's phone using an animation app, and his son's building blocks. The video features Johnson building up walls with the blocks, and then knocking them down.
