Amateur - Ezra Furman

Lyrics by：Ezra Furman

Composed by：Ezra Furman

I wanna be an amateur

That's what I would like to someday 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 an 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

You got wings to fly

No sense keeping them folded neatly

Take to the sky

Let me hear you strain your voice so sweetly

You got instinct you got almond eyes

Get your feathers dirty baby

If you wanna be an amateur

Stick with me

I don't know anything

I don't know anything

At least that's how I'd like to be

I I wanna be an amateur
