from the "Minority Of One" lp. Music by Brian Baker, lyrics by Dave Smalley.
So tired of trying to keep up with
someone else's pace
you got a new tattoo, but the same old
face
complacency is the enemy and I've been
acting old
there's got to be more to life than
doing what we're told
you can't bottle this - it always slips
away
shut out - of a dream we had not long
ago
there's nothing to prove, nothing to
show
we've been told all this before
so why am I still keeping score
constraints are all around you every
single day
when you're feeling overloaded you can't
run away
and everywhere you go there's another
wall in life
no matter where you look there's no end
in sight
you can't bottle this - it always slips
away
shut out - of a dream we had not long
ago
nothing to prove, nothing to show
we've been told all this before
and I'm still keeping score
I understand you've got pressure's
but I can't accept your reaction
it's been a long road
is it all a distraction?
birth, school, work, death
these are things we all have to accept
and sometimes it feels like you're
hitting a wall
I can't make sense of it all
shut up!
it's another time and another place
get a different view and a brand new
take
it's a brand new day, it's a brand new
day
brand new day
it's a brand new day
brand new day
