about

Idealism
Written in Hog Creek Campground, Norman, Oklahoma, USA. Fourth of July weekend, 2015

lyrics

I wanna live I wanna love I wanna laugh and always be free
I wanna sleep when my eyelids grow heavy
I wanna be surrounded by beauty
A champion in the face of defeat

How did I get here idling on the freeway
How did I grow up a big let down
How did my mind get filled up with nothing

But money booze and plots from television

I wanna try and then succeed and never worry bout a thing
I wanna kiss you like it’s love everlasting
I wanna earn such deep respect appreciate all that I get
My family won't want for nothing

How did I get here idling on the freeway
How did I grow up a big let down
How did my mind get filled up with nothing
But money food and plots from television
But money booze and plots from television
But money sex and plots from television

We don't want no quick fix prescription
We don't want evangelism
Cell phone your closest companion
You are alive
You are alive you were born kicking and screaming
You are alive awake each new morning
You are alive how the hell did this happen

How did I get here idling on the freeway
How did I grow up a big let down
How did my mind get filled up with nothing
But money drugs and plots from television
But money booze and plots from television
But money sex and plots from television

Idealism , Idealism, Idealism
