ALL AMPED UP
(Chris Hludzik)

Did you ever get that feeling, from deep down below?
Glad and excited all over, feel like you’re on a roll.
It’s like a fire in your heart, and an aching in your soul.
But you just sit there wasted, dazed in the afterglow.

Then you put down your guitar, and down the stairs you go.
You jump into your car, with no special place to go.
And you saw the light turn red, but you never even seen,
That while you were waiting hungrily, all the time it was green.

And so another dull day passes, with the sunset one more will grow.
And you feel so used, mislead and confused, abused by an overthrow.
And as the day slowly dims, and then quickly turns to black,
You wish you could have held on, you wish you could take it back.

And after all your friends have left you, there’s only one thing that you know:
It’s no use being all amped up, when you got no place to go

I’ve seen freedom in the mountains, I’ve seen fighting on the streets,
But I’ve got a deeper hunger, one that can’t be beat.
I’ve seen criminals walking free, I’ve seen peacemakers hang from the poles.
I’ve seen people who were all amped up, but too afraid to come out of their holes.

I’ve seen beauty in the darkness, I’ve seen evil in the light.
I’ve seen people who are killing, but no one wins the fight.
I’ve used all the excuses, now all my friends are foes.
But no one hears me crying, no one feels my woes.

And we’ve created a prison, where anyone can go.
But we can never break away, because we do not know.
In the sky the sun is shining, but it’s always rain in my heart.
And it’s hard to be all amped up, broken down and torn apart.

So I try not to get excited, ’cause if there’s one thing that I know,
It’s just a goddamn shame, when you’re all amped up, and you got no place to go.
