Songtexte Amateur - Ezra Furman

I wanna be an amateur
That's what I would like to some day be
I wanna be an amateur
Back like I used to be
I wanna go down to the essence
Down to the essence
Down to my clumsy childhood essence
I wanna be essentially, unfiltered, free
I don't like power
I don't like hierarchy
I don't worship human power
The idea of enemy is not for me
I'm an American
I'd like to think that means real democracy
I wanna be amateur
When you're an amateur
You don't have the whole thing preconceived
You're flying blind
You didn't get a pricey art degree
Or if you did that's fine
If you can forget your vocabulary
