about

This song came out of nowhere but it fits the general theme of finding something interesting when one scratches the surface.

lyrics

Change?

Living alone on the edge of town in a house none calls a home.
Kicking a stone on a grassless lawn, time seems to pass so slow.
What can you do?
What can you say?
Can’t change a thing!

Looking for a car to pass on by but nothing comes this far out.
And if it did, it’d be by mistake, you see this isn’t where it’s at.
What can you do?
What can you say?
Can’t change a thing!

There has to be a time - once at least - utilities man drops in.
Meter gets checked, there’s a price to pay for being within the grid.
What can you do?
What can you say?
Can’t change a thing!

But, is that all there is for us?
Surviving on the edge, turning to rust.
Waiting for a chance to break free
To move away from misery.

A thought comes up, niggles and nags.
People on the tv., perspective grabs.
All the crowded places, polluted and dying.
Better off out here, yeah, life’s divine.

Living alone on the edge of town in a house none calls a home.
Kicking a stone on a grassless lawn, time seems to pass so slow.
All can be done!
All can be said!
Won’t change a thing!
