5 years

i need five years
to figure this out
know who i am
what i want
how to explain all this
to people so they can get it too
the way i play
the way i talk
the way i live
all this i’m still figuring out
but i know i’m on the right track
i got the skills i need to build my songs, videos, shows
getting my mind and body working right
right now i am flying solo
but one day i want a wife
and a big house full of dogs and kids
all my previous attempts at family and success
never worked out
because i was lost and afraid
i was dumb and inflamed
i wanted too much too soon and even if got some of it
i couldn’t hold on to it because it confused me
so i sabotaged and hurt and burned bridges
now i know i am on the right track
i got the songs, the poetry and the fire
i’m a one man rocknroll symphony chicago blues choir
electronic opera or whatever
all art is essentially the same thing
just a bunch of sex starved creative kids making excuses
to not have to work some stupid job
we want to save the world
because that means value to you and me
make the world better somehow
end factory farming
get people to think good
with logic and reason
faith is bullshit
and the bulls are faithless
