(Sometimes I feel so) Uninspired

ahhh sometimes i almost enjoy being down for a while,
because i enjoy some of my sadder songs all the more.

lots of good sad songs exist in many genres.. i of course
like the blues a lot, and i know country music (not c/w) is
the same way. (what do you get when you play a country
song backwards? your wife back, your house back, your
dog back...)

still though, as much as i like a good sad song, i am
COMPLETELY removed from anything goth. i don't know..
as sad as the songs i like can get, they always have a hint
of hope, or a bittersweet taste.. much of what i see in goth
is doom&gloom with no hope, and that strikes me honestly
as quite juvenile.

i wish i could come up with a better categorization for the
following song than just 'classic rock'. traffic and similar
clasic rock bands (that's too broad dammit) have been a
foundation of my philosophy since I was very small. I've
taken on a lot since from other genres, but this reaches way back.

Sometimes I feel so uninspired
Sometimes I feel like giving up
Sometimes I feel so very tired
Sometimes I feel like I've had enough
Sometimes you feel like you've been hired
Sometimes you feel like you've been bought
Sometimes you feel like your room's been wired
Sometimes you feel like you've been caught
But don't let it get you down
There is no reason for not failing
You've got to smile and turn the other cheek
So today you might get up
But by tomorrow you'll be sailing
And you won't even hear these words I speak
Some people want to be so desired
Some people can't stand the light of day
Somebody's laughing while someone is crying
But for to want in the close of the day
But sometimes I feel like my head is spinning
I'm gonna cave with all I see
I don't know who's losing and I don't care who's winning
Hardship and trouble following me
