CYNICAL LYRICIST - Al Chantrey (original)

A one off. I wasn't even going to record or upload this, but I was talked in to it. Enjoy some lyrics from the depths of my mind. Want to know me? Want to know who I am? Listen carefully.

It was one-fourty-two in the morning
No one around me knew the score
I sat here listening as outside was storming
Like a hundred times before
-
Diss the night with a promise of tomorrow
Grumble at the hours that've gone
I will never ever beg steal or borrow
Look them in the eye and be strong

Bridge:

Simplicity and gravity are yours
Conforming is against my rules
If a shiny car is what you adore
And brand new jewels

Chorus:

I'm a man with no plan but to make it
make it in my own way
And if you call me some eccentric gentric
Then thank you for proving me right
I don't buy for the sake of owning
And I don't pray to invisible men
And if you call me a cynical lyricist
Thank you

If to live is to follow leaders
Then dying is against the rules
In the mirror you will find the real Jesus
No judgment, reasons rhymes or blues

Bridge:

Yesterday's dreams are tomorrow's world
But you have to live today
If a memory can make you smile
Then a thought can build a way

Chorus:

I'm a man with no plan but to make it
Make it in my own way
And if you call me some eccentric gentric
Then thank you for proving me right
I don't buy for the sake of owning
And I don't follow any rules
And if you call me a cynical lyricist
Thank you
