The Dark Beat

from Invasion of the Bugmen by Buskers

about

I was going through a very rough patch when I wrote the lyrics of this song. It was more or less almost stream-of-consciousness, as I felt they fit the riff, which I was fiddling around with for a while. I never did think of a better song title, but this one fits anyway.

lyrics

Trapped in my head
I cannot climb out
I'm plagued by neuroses
And lots of self-doubt
I don't even know
If this song is good
Or if it is junk
Another falsehood
Art and the sound
They give me a voice
But what to persue
The ultimate choice
Maybe I'll choose
Both flexibly
As long as I find
A new destiny

Just once I wish
You'd listen to me
But what do you care
To you, I'm a flea
You think I'm a joke
To be pushed around
I'm sick of this life
I'm sick of this town
I tried to get better
I tried to do well
But you step on my head
And kept me in Hell
I hate what you made
This world of lies
I hope your ideas
Will soon fucking die!
