I never thought it would change my life
Punk rock at Coffee House
While others barked I would stand outside
Quietly walking behind
I had a dream where I would take flight
From 25 floors up
The notion that I would take control
That I could change the world, what a joke
I think I’ve heard it before
That love will save the day
The feeling promised much more
But now it’s gone away
I’m reaching out
From the place I’ve tucked away
Realising that we’re all the same
I’m calling out
My friends have gone
Changed for the worse
But they all probably feel the same
I never thought it would come to this
I think I know it now
So lost I’d finally settled down
Sharing this joyful sound
I always knew I would never win
Things haven’t changed much since
Just like the records I first picked up
And heard at Missing Link
Let us lay down all our pride
And never judge each other
We are one in the same
I was once such a fool
Thinking I was so much better
Just to justify myself
Maybe if we all remembered
Where we came from as a child
How we were all so simple
Then the fingers would stop pointing
Then our hearts might be open
Imagine all of us free
