Had grand plans to make this a big anthem demo... if you imagine really hard, you can hear big drums, fist pumping guitars - and overlapping vocals w/ the verse, chorus and tag. here's the voice recorder version
lyrics
Be the soldier, be the captain
Caught you dreaming, it ain’t happening
Who recruited you for this?
I don’t know, I don’t know
Hard to be a gentle soul when angry beasts are on a roll
Hard to be the bigger man when they cheat you down to size
Outta breath, outta luck
Outta depth, had enough
Keep on searching for that something I’ve been dreaming of
All I know & all I need is love
See the fortune, hear the rhythm
Do u torture, for a living?
What do you believe in
I don’t know, I don’t know
Hard to pay the price for peace without looking weak in the knees
Hard to be an angel with a devil in your face
Outta breath, outta luck
Outta depth, had enough
Keep on searching for something I’ve been dreaming of
All I know & all I need is love
