Written by me on April 12, 1987. Archive song #2. Most of these early songs were recorded to cassette live, and who knows where those cassettes are?!? I'm not even sure what instrumentation was on the original. If only I can get that multi-track repaired...

Freshly 18 years old. Full of optimism and piss and vinegar.

lyrics

And you might say that there's no chance
You can't even learn the steps of this dance
You gotta run as fast as you can
Forgive your fellow man again and again

You've gotta never give up hope
Never ever let your guard down
Accept the facts, untie the rope
Open the bag, let's see what you found

Do not be conformed to this place
Beat the pain of the rat race
And it may seem that nothing is going your way
Just remember that tomorrow is a brand new day

Dream for a better place my friend
The time is short and we're almost at the end
