Loss of Ambition in East Suburbia

It's been a couple days since I've updated, so I'll go ahead and post something else. This is the Loss of Ambition in East Suburbia, which I played in some of my earlier sets but ended up getting a little frustrated with the flow of the music, so I kinda ditched. It's basically just an adolescent Jason getting bored with the standard expectations of life. But I guess that's life...

Loss of Ambition in East Suburbia

I don't see why I
must live without decadence
what happened to my independence?

Living out the wishes
of our fathers of modern lore
their standard lines are such a bore

Where have all the vagabonds gone?
Living each day out
with whatever may come about

Forget living each day
One drag at a time.
Is one pack such a price to pay?
I was meant
for so much more.

I look around and see my brothers
living with the degradation
of each day's expectations.

I won't lay down for in between
school, college, wife, and kid
that bores me just a little bit.

I say we throw it all away.
We don't deserve this stigma,
You and I will give them

Something that inspires
Something they desire
Something to remind them
that they still have a choice.

Forget living each day
One drag at a time.
Is one pack such a price to pay?
We were meant
for so much more.

Something that inspires
(I want to give you)
(a light to the door)
(a path that may lead you)
(you deserve so much more)

Something to remind them... that they still have a chance.


Silly kid...
