Scared To Move (solo song by Kenn Rowell of The Baghdaddios, NYC)

For nearly 20 years singer-songwriter Kenn Rowell has been part of NYC's indie and D.I.Y. scene - primarily as the frontman/lead singer/songwriter for The Baghdaddios. Known for their old school punk asthetic, Rowell has been exploring new paths of late, experimenting with every style from avant garde to jazz to acoustic roots music. This tune, written by Kenn several years ago, was recorded recently in New York and is slated to be released this year (2011) on his first solo effort, "Instant Solo Album". A full, faster, electric version of this tune will appear on The Baghdaddios next album, which will be scheduled for release, next year (2012).

Lyrics::
Scared To Move

I wish I could get over my anger. I wish I could over my pain.
I wish I could get over my hatred. All this negativity will drive me insane

But I'm too scared to move. Too scared, too scared to move.

I wish this chip would fall off my shoulder. I wish that I could lighten up.
I feel the pressure churning in my gut. I feel my throat tighten up.

Oh yeah, I'm too scared to move. Too scared, too scared to move.

Senseless killings on my TV set. All your excuses make me too upset
Demanding blood because life isn't fair.
You've got some paranoid idea that my life is better.
I'm doing all I can just to hold it together
You don't see me pulling out my hair -- stuck in some big nowhere........

Lying in bed without a reason to get up. Listen to the beating of my frantic heart.
Trying like Hell to understand my world -- and how to keep it from falling apart.

That's why I'm too scared to move. Oh damnit, too scared to move. (Hey!)

(break)

Why busy talking 'cause I'm out of words? It doesn't matter 'cause I'm never heard
I've declared all I can declare.
Through my rear-view mirror I try to debate you.
I don't know you, but still I hate you.
You don't see me pulling out my hair -- stuck in some big nowhere.........

I wish I could get over my hatred. I wish I could get over my life.
The ones left standing tend to tell the story. I pray each day that I survive.

Until then I'm too scared to move. Too scared, too scared to move.
Oh yeah, I'm too scared to move. Too scared, too scared to move.
Too scared -- too scared to move.

To all our friends and regulars I say: thanks for the initial outpouring of kind words - we haven't even posted this to my FB page yet - so thanks for keeping an eye out for new stuff and for the props. It's responses like these that make all of this worth it! (Oh, by the way AM, our M is right: don't focus on the bad - there's a lot of good out there - and you're part of it! Onward and upward!)

@TheBaghdaddiosRule1 Thank you! We think it's great, too. Hey, that's what makes this country so awesome: we can all have our opinions and not fear for our safety. I'm sure this tune isn't for everyone - but for those with taste and class: thank you!

[Baghdaddio]

@JoneseyMustDie Let it go, Bro. It's all good. We've already gotten a TV dude interested in licensing the tune for a show. Who cares what one hater says?
