Phil Gawen - Media Places Lyrics

High above, there is a new frontier
Here below, we just follow peers
Had enough, using all our means
You and I, selfish in our dreams

I turned my TV on
Cause my fantasies were losing ground
Filled me up with pain and sex and horror
And all those happy endings

It's really no wonder
I find myself living up to some
New commercial
'Spending all that pocket money
In-group pressure, to be hip and funny

Window, window, to the big world
The more I watch you, I get lost in you
Don't want no education
I am high, and won't come down

And if I wake up now
From all directions, I'd be hit with cues
Under flac to think about facts and truth
And if I face them now
I have no friends to be worried about
Just a fruitless now, as a stage less act

Nowhere in time, I am nowhere in space
I am nowhere and wearing a fantasy face
Somebody's dream, I am somebody's maze

Don't hit me with calculus
Or the history of some war we won
Who cares?
Got a job in a video store
Waiting for the day I'm 21

Soon, it'll be college life
Find myself with a babe, that's right
Life is an experience
When you've got those looks
And no more reason

And if I wake up now
My parents are used to the attitude
They had their hopes, until I was rude
And if I could change now
The more I think about who I am
The chances I blew and the miles I ran

Nowhere in time, I am nowhere in space
I am nowhere and wearing my fantasy face
Somebody's dream, I am somebody's maze
So, leave me alone in my media place
