about

This was supposed to be an Animal Logic track but circumstances prevented that from happening (though Stewart Copeland plays drums)

lyrics

Every day you wake up the news is bad
And there’s a thousand things you gotta tend to
Imagining is all you’ve ever had
And someone’s always there depending on you
Searching for some peace of mind
Lately that’s so hard to find
If only you could leave it all behind

CHORUS: You need a song with a chorus
You need a song you can sing along to
You need a song when you hear it
It makes you feel lucky to be alive

You want a song with a chorus
With a message that’s written for you
Then in that moment you’re happy
The sound of your voice ringing through

Don’t give up your dream is what they say
That’s an easy thing if you already made it
When the piper calls he must be paid
There’s no magic wand and no one to wave it
Holding on with all your might
Building up an appetite
Waiting for a taste of something right

CHORUS

Maybe you know the words or maybe you fake it
Either way it does not matter
It’s your turn come take it
