War Inside My Head

from Buskers by Buskers

/

about

Something in a more reggae vein. I try something a little different for this song: lead off with the chorus. The only other song I recall doing that with was another reggae song: Reggae Is My Jah from Kaijugoogoo, which was written around the same time as this song.

lyrics

Chorus:
War inside my head
It'sa bringin' me down
Causin' great confusion
In the world around
War inside my head
Makin' me insane
Swirlin' rollercoaster
Inside of my brain

Verse 1:
Light and darkness swirlin' deep inside
Mental faculties on the downslide
World all around me makes no sense
Nothin' but noise, there is no silence
A fucked-up world, of which there's no doubt
The war within comes from war without
Television is Babylon's device
Spreading conflict and all the vice

Chorus

Verse 2:
I no longer know who the hell I am
Witness to the remains of my plan
Shattered pieces all around me
Don't know who I'm supposed to be
Am I a revolutionary
Or just a person who wants to be left be
A constant ringing like a telephone
Can y'all leave me the hell alone?

Chorus

Verse 3:
I have reached the songwriter's curse
Coming up with words for a final verse
Don't know how to finish this song
I feel that it will go on too long
Doubting if I am any good
If I am doing what I should
As a writer or a person
Doesn't matter: we are near the end

Chorus
