Broken Down Dream

Broken Down Dream


1V.
Youth is gone in a blink of an eye
All you can do is laugh or scream at the sky
A closet full of regrets and echo's of innocence
Gonna meet it all with scorn and ambivalence

2V.
Memories come back but they're kind of hazy
Bald and bloated and middle age crazy
A foot in the past but lookin' down the road
Keep marching on with this mighty load

1C.
Roll on ----- Through the years
Running red lights and grinding gears
Roll on ----- While unraveling at the seams
Keep on keepin' on with this broken down dream

3V.
Once upon a time I was an angry young man
Burnin' down those dreams as fast as I can
All arrogant mixed with young magnificence
Now I'll still flip you off, but with some experience

Dreams and mistakes, you can still call your own
They'll have to pry my fingers from this microphone
Ain't lookin' back, not over my shoulder
Another dream alive, another day older

2X then out.

Great tune!Getting old wouldn't be so bad if you didn't lose your teeth and hair...........

Harold Pinter and John Aren, Angry Young Men authors, would have liked you for this one, Bald Guy!

Yep, well formulated thoughts of a theme so truely wellknown in the world of music and poetry.
Funny you look back on it as a time of innocence.
Fascinating words!
