i am innocent instead

AHHHHHH.... how come stacey in madison, wisconsin, sitting in 2nd Row seats purchased through MY warehouse membership is, at this VERY MOMENT, enjoying "all along the watchtower" performed by the dave matthews band *featuring* ben harper???!!!!!!! yet, friday night, at MY SHOW in penn state... there was no mixing of artists to be HAD... where's the justice???? (i mean, i suppose if we subscribe to george w's wisdom, there is such a thing as going overboard with justice, but i ain't buying!!!!) AHHHHHHHH.....

i can't be too jealous of stacey, though... she did provide me with quite a lengthy concert call tonight, during a song that i had sadly forgotten how much i loved....
i had the lyrics to this song on my wall during my freshman year in college... so beautiful, and so very powerful.... so appropriate for the recent state of affairs in my life...

SEEK UP
Sometimes I feel like I'm falling
Fall back again, fall back again,
Fall back again, fall back again
Oh, life it seems a struggle between
What we think what we see
I'm not going to change my ways
Just to please you or appease you
Inside a crowd, five billion proud
Willing to punch it out
Right, wrong, weak, strong
Ashes to ashes all fall down
Look around about this round
About this merry-go-round around
If at all God's gaze upon us fall
His mischievous grin, look at him

Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Our emotions can be swept away
Forget about being guilty,
We are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

Sit awhile with TV's hungry child
Big belly swelled
Oh, for a price of a coke or a smoke
Keep alive those hungy eyes
Take a look at me, what you see in me,
Mirror look at me
Face it all, face it all again

Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that your emotions can be
Wept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, i am innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

Look at me in my fancy car
And my bank account
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down
Into my grave, I'd save
Take a look again, take a look again,
Take a look again
Everyday things change,...stay the same

You seek up an emotion
And our cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion,
Sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster
For him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you,
The devil's not going--ha, ha
Fall back again, fall back again, fall back again...
