Cynical
(Josh Campbell-Brian Weber -3/03)

You're such a lonely little girl
Living in a dangerous world
Wrap your arms around me hold on tight
We can leave tonight

People of the world
come take a ride with me
I'll show you scenes of war
I'll show you signs of peace
And when our road trip ends
I hope that you will see
On the brink like nothing before
right at your door
The times are getting critical

It's getting rough where is the love
Push comes to shove
it's getting kind of physical
It's hard to feel or know what is real
And finding the truth
is getting kind of difficult
Fat cats that itch and scratch your back
But lack the facts of living in the real world
Hold on something is wrong
I can't work this out
I'm getting kind of cynical here

Let's go while we still have the time
Just you before me the world behind
Forget the places we have been
We'll begin again

notes: I love the opening riff that Josh C came up with on this and that led me into adding the opening rock yell. We use this song all the time to open up a set and it's a great opener announcing our presence as a band. That's why it is the first track on our demo... Just as the title suggests this song is kind of a critical look at the world. But I think there is some hope communicated in it as well. It's kind of like let's move on and reinvent ourselves and start a new life... just leave all the garbage behind and wipe the slate clean. It's basically a reaction to the negative stuff that happens in the world... that there is an escape route and we can survive and even be better for the hard times we all experience. --Brian Weber
