Angst Ridden Writer Songtext

von Michael Friedman

When I was younger with dreams so vibrant
I had a hunger to built a new means
And now I wonder why the world is so violent
Dragging me under, supressing my dreams

And now the colours of dreams have faded
Disappointments have taken their toll
I'm rearranging with what I am given
Trying to rid this angst from my soul

Chorus:
Science has rid us of wonder
Explained to us in foreign code
And the sceptics tear away at the dreamers
Acid tongues don't talk, they corrode
Have you ever chased a rainbow ?
Others ask: "What's wrong with you ?"
And have you tried to make some changes ?
And have others tried to stop what you do ?

The critic romances the angst ridden writer
As if it's a spice of nobility
To be a seeker of all that's creative
But writers fight angst off through poetry

As you drive along now, how come so many
Songs of desire of mobility ?
Caught in the airwaves, the angst ridden writer
Seeking asylum from uncertainty

Chorus

One day I felt restless, so I started writing
A song of desire of mobility
Then transformation, my thoughts started changing
Instead of them freeing, they imprisoned me

Chorus
