Every now and then I cower and I need to find empowerment
Empowerment is paramount to how I can begin to mount
A plan that I can implement
to make a dent on ignorance
Instead of drunk belligerence
and the dissidence of miscreants
Especially in this instance
with the never ending persistence
to use the words in each sentence
as if they were blunt instruments
to beat a hole in the defence
of this beauty and her innocence
which serves to just build resistance
in spite of all my good intents.
The beat that my heart skipped
This is the beat that my heart skipped when we first met
Now that I`ve heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret
No disrespect
We just left a lot of people upset
And what we had wasn`t really what we`d come to expect
Well good god damn and other such phrases
I haven`t heard a beat like this in ages
To miss such a beat would have been outrageous
But when you heart skips a beat its ruthless and aimless
She caught my attention in her fishnets
Then she reeled me in expecting nothing more than kissed necks and quick sex
But that weren`t the case with this platinum princess
She`s attracted my interest
So I wanted to impress�.
Upon her all the positive things
That come form having more than just a one night fling
But that`s something that`s easier in theory than in practice
Since pick up lines are tactics
To get prey to the mattress
And this actress
Is practiced
In shunning such theatrics
When put upon daily by tactless geriatrics
So my genuine advances are met with po-faced scepticism
Throwing complements but she just straight elects to miss them
Her lips were put on this earth for dispersing wisdom
God forbid I suggest she lets me kiss them
But I really want to know what she thinks of me
Because I`m loving every idiosyncrasy
But I ain`t one to jump through hoops to make a 1st impression
Been there, done that, learnt the worst of lessons
We want to be loved for who we appear to be instead of who we are
So I real selves take a backseat behind the pomp and the façade
And that`s as true of the rude boys, downing pints and acting hard
As of the kids shunning convention with clinical disregard
See the friends I made and I were different from the rest
Though in the school playground is where the xxxx starts to show
The other kids would play He-Man, and GI Joe
But why they aspired to be GI Joe I just didnt know
It was kinda clear right then there were strangers within us
We're more like you be Charles Mingus, I'll be sticky fingers
I was a schoolboy standing in a schoolboy stance
Gimmie some space to grow so I can try to advance
When I grow up, I want to be an astronaut (x??)
Now just becuase I did not become an astronaut
That does not mean I have failed, oh no no not at all
It simply means the ambitions of the kids at school
Can be restricted and a little one-dimensional
We are encouraged to pick a job in which we see success
Instead of thinking about what we really need for happiness
And so our goal becomes our job title and anything less
Is deemed a failure and for me this is quite hard to digest
When I grow up, I want to be an astronaut
When I grow up, I want to be an astronaut
When I grow up, I want to be an astronaut
Anything other than that is an afterthought
When I grow up, I want to be an astronaut
With a lot of good friends and a family to support
When I grow up, I want to be an astronaut
With no friends, other than the TV I bought
When I grow up, I want to be an astronaut
Married to the girl throughout my teens I have sought
When I grow up, I want to be an astronaut
Selling drugs on the side and not getting caught
When I grow up, I want to be an astronaut
Living out my life in a familiar haunt
When I grow up, I want to be an astronaut
Drained of all my life, looking tired and gaunt
When I grow up, I just want to roll
From one experience to the next without having a goal
When I grow up, I want to evolve
Into a person not defined just by their job or their role
When I grow up, I just want to roll
From one experience to the next without having a goal
When I grow up, I want to evolve
Into a person not defined just by their job or their role
