Island Of Anger

"Island Of Anger" It’s a beautiful world Filled with stupid people Beating each other’s brains out Like the cavemen did But I’m stuck right here Wondering why I can’t do Like the brave men did     Oh don’t I know This ain’t no way to live When everything I see and hear Makes me mad And there’s no silver lining The stuff that doesn’t get me angry Makes me sad Chorus 1: Hard to believe I’m not a kid Hard to believe the things I did Hard to believe the ways I hid my love Wondering now why I’m not free Wondering how I came to be An island of anger in a sea of love And love rules This much I understand But all the ones who live for peace die for it Still somehow that message comes And every day I struggle to decipher it Chorus 1: Hard to believe I’m not a kid Hard to believe the things I did Hard to believe the ways I hid my love Wondering now why I’m not free Wondering how I came to be An island of anger in a sea of love Refrain:   Younger by half I was quick to laugh Hopeful and alive to what might come Where’s my spark Skies so dark All I seem to hear is a distant drum   Guitar Solo:                  Chorus 1: Hard to believe I’m not a kid Hard to believe the things I did Hard to believe the ways I hid my love Wondering now why I’m not free Wondering how I came to be An island of anger in a sea of love Chorus 2: Hard to believe the time’s so short Hard to believe I’m still in port Dying to set a different sort of course Wondering now how I’ll get free And how to become a refugee From an island of anger In a sea of love Love
