From the recording Eclipse
The only reggae track on the EP, and I think my best vocal performance!
Lyrics
Everyone seems so decided
Not me, me sorry
Ambition is so entitled
Questioning is not so easy
My sense is that the competition
Can indeed bring an inhibition
Babylon has a way to seduce
Showing us how to be glamorous
We all crave a bit of attention
In-a-this media-crazy nation
Wanna see wanna hear wanna be
Wanna possess wanna success
The grass is always greener on the other side
The spotlight takes control of our pride
Everything seems so cut and dry
But I can't see why
Dinero's completely loco
When people matter less than dough
My sense is that the money power
Is indeed making us all poorer
When you get more, I feel left behind
So that I throw myself in the grind
Everyone wants a piece of the pie
And will sacrifice all the sublime
Wanna earn wanna spend wanna save
Wanna possess wanna success
The grass is always greener on the other side
It only gets greener with every stride
We can always paint the grass
But we cannot fool ourselves
So I keep banging, I don't stop asking
As a lone singer
Strumming my guitar
You could also eat the grass
But watch out for your guts
Though it looks tempting, I keep refusing
As an off-singer
Strumming my guitar
So why don't we smoke the grass
This way we can all relax
And I keep lighting, I find it thrilling
As a stone singer
Strumming my guitar
