THIS IS ME by Robert Eunson. I found myself on the cold street's of memphis,i was 17 and looking for Elvis. And Marilyn was a product and a gift from God and psychopath's were on their paths, to conquer the world. And i keep remembering what Kennedy said....nothing cures like a bullitt in the head. And 60's counter culture gave us the summer of love and Timothy Leary took a trip on a magic bus. But was it murdered in Altamore by Hell's Angel thugs ? And a lot of people were left homeless and addicted to drugs. But wham bam thank you mam, we stopped the war in Vietnam. We got Civil Rights..Gay Rights and the Feminist Movement..some power to the people and some social improvement. And i remember standing in the shadows,kissing in the dark wearing outrageous clothes and i remember sleeping rough on the street, building fire's in the night,looking for something to eat. We were young, we were strong, we thought everything was possible. Because when your young you can see what's wrong, but you don't stay young for very long.. Sad world, can't you realize,escape from your prison's and see through the lies,romantic vision's are in my eyes. Revolution's in your head. And Punk Rock punctured the status quo, until it became just a fashion show. Still some lives were changed, but look what followed after..12 years of Tory government with Margaret Thatcher. So no more lies or compromise. No more wooden saviours to save us. No defference to authority,we question all authority. We won't conform we won't belong and that is why i wrote that song. Outside of everything, is the only place that i can live. Revolution's in my head. No governments, no death machine's..The system's built to kill your dream's. And corporation's sell delusion's..sell you what you do not need,it's all for them,it's all for greed. And what i really need.. Is a wild creativity,an inspired activity and a Picasso eccentricity, to become the person that i want to be. To create my identity,with love and sincerity and to try to live in harmony, with a common sense of decency. Because you know, it's tough out there, to become the person that i want to be,so i need to hold on to the vision that i can see and say it loud with intensity. . Listen world, this is me ! With all my hope's and dream's and faults and vanity, i still believe in me and i will never stop trying to become the person that i want to be and every step i take and every breath i breathe. I want to try to live and be, the change in this world, that i hope one day to see.
