You'll Be Fine

about

Words & music by Ed Wenn.

lyrics

Well I know a deep-thinking man.
He takes most things to heart.
He's always looking for more than there seems to be,
But sometimes it's just art.

And it ain't wrong to just sit back and enjoy
All the things that you like.
You don't need to find the true meaning to step into the light.

And sometimes the thing you need most is inside you all the time.
So shut down those systems you use.
You don't need them.
You'll be fine.

And there's thousands of days and thousand of nights;
They're all stretched out ahead.
Enough time for thinking things over and chasing them all round your head.

So fuck all those philosophers.
They ain't living your life.
There's only so far you can travel with their words as a guide.

Sometimes the things you keep locked away inside feel so right.
So shut down those systems you use.
Lose your old self.
Be strong and step into the light.

The musical starting point has remained constant; a mix of The Who, The Kinks, Big Star, CSNY & Steve Earle layered over a punk rock sensibility & attitude. ... more
