7. "Shout" (Getting Better)

Just shout it's getting better

It's a great era for a junk collector
with lots of time for petty self reflection
turns out vacant dreams are easy to sell
there's nothing to celebrate, so celebrate yourself

but it's all right
as long as you mean it
It's easier to analyze things
than to do them

It's a great era for us faceless critics
faithful purists and shifty cynics
we're above what you made because of what we know
as if you're running out of second guesses of your own

But it's all right
because you do this for you
and you can't just give it up
or at least it seems like that should be true

It's a great era for the wasted martyr
fighting all these little selfish wars that he started
he could face the gap between those without and those with
or he could write another song that sounds like when we were kids

But it's all right
as long as he means it
it's easier to analyze things
than to build them

Part of me thinks we've made it
to one goal that we set
where the problem is too much art
that's too easy to get
And we could spend all of our unsung lives
buried down in those archives
instead we keep inventing things again

So you might as well open up your mouth and let it out
none of us want to hear your silence or your doubts
you might as well open up your mouth and let it out
none of us want to hear your silence or your doubts

Just shout it's getting better
