lyrics

I wanna be from somewhere
I wanna stand for something
The price of my freedom
You couldn’t pay me nothin

I wanna die an old man
In the presence of loved ones
With a special someone
Sitting right next to me

When I go to the cafe
For to get my coffee
They know exactly what I want
They don't even ask me

And if I keep up the good work
Make a visit to the tip jar
Well, every couple days, now
They forget to charge me

I say howdy to my neighbor
When I'm takin out the trash can
And we talk about some bullshit
In the early evening breeze

And even though I am the new kid
And he's been living on the old block
We still ask each other how our day was
And that's the way it oughta be

Who's talkin bout a movement?
Who's talkin bout money?
It shouldn't take a revolution
To get some milk and honey

Who's talkin bout living
A little closer to the bone, yeah
Who's talkin bout the one thing
I thought everybody wanted to be from somewhere...

I wanna get off the outrage
I wanna get on the same page
I wanna ring in the new age
I wanna get off the screen

I wanna listen to the ancients
Find the glitches in the matrix
And get back to the basics
I betcha we could all agree

We wanna be from somewhere
We wanna stand for something
The price of my freedom
I hope nobody could pay you nothin

I wanna die an old man
In the presence of loved ones
With a special someone
Sitting right next to me
With a special someone
That's the life of my dreams

Great songs, great recording. One the best musicians/songwriters/singers out there... Theo Katzman

Silver Tears
by Aaron Lee Tasjan

Aaron Lee Tasjan is one my favorite artists. I feel a kindred spirit to his songwriting, and lyrically he is right up there with all the greats. This cat makes me cry and laugh in the same song. Theo Katzman

Schvitz

Antwaun Stanley is the star of the show in this album. "New Guru" is catchy as hell and "Serve Somebody" serves some 70's soul in 2022. It's also nice to see Jack Stratton emerge into some more vocal work after his first solo record. t0cktock
