Lyric to “Mandolin Song”. One of the songs on the
Tumbleweed Connetion demo.

IÂ’ve worked hard
Many long, long days
TheyÂ’re killing my mind
IÂ’m getting an old mans face

Indifferent eyes
Jaded hands
Worn out knees
But no-one understands

ItÂ’s my mind
The gloom in my mind
My biggest anxiety
Is a dead creativity

I donÂ’t want to be
A cogwheel boy
One in the line of
Marching souls

Not like the rest
I hold my fist in the air

Not like the rest
IÂ’m one of those who care

Not soothed like you
I want to think on my own

Not sleeping like you
In your picture tube throne

I donÂ’t want to be
A cogwheel boy
One in the line of
Marching souls

Not like the rest
I hold my fist in the air
Not like the rest
IÂ’m one of those who care
