I’m saving the ego system
I’ll save it from imploding
I’ll blow it up and then some
I’ll change it from within

There will be
No more slimy flashing in sports cars
No more trying to wow the neighbours
No more growing up, or hiding underground
There will be
No more cigars or emulating film stars
No more caviar or very cool guitars
No more bowing up and no more talking down

I’ll be out flying — the waves, the waves
I’ll be out riding — the winds, the winds

I’m saving the ego system
I’ll fight with every cell
They won’t know what hit them
All my younger selves

There will be
Offbeat cow trails, trying a new chord
Scoville cocktails, diving with Crusoe
Low-speed car chase in an old Ambassador
And singing with birds, laughing with bees
Falling in love, head over heels
And gently sliding down a rabbit hole

I’ll be out flying — the waves, the waves
I’ll be out riding — the winds, the winds
I’ll never be royal, I’ll never be royal
