Totally raw and probably only good for headphone levels, sometimes I just think them up and just record and then I fall in love with the recording and shy away from re-recording. Then again maybe my ears just get used to it...

Lyrics
Everybody wanna go outside
Watch the kids play ball
If he runs he's gonna catch it,
Runs fast, he looks like an angel,
He's living in a small town
Everything seems so big, outside
The world is scary,
He don't wanna touch it,
So careful he just wanna stay inside,
But you gotta go outside.
Why's that kid playing alone?
He's standing all by himself
He kinda looks like a mailbox there
Ain't no one gonna pick him up?
Bet you he's got messages to send
Maybe i'll write him,
Maybe I'll write him a letter, write him a song,
Call it 'the mailbox kid.'
Everybody wanna go outside
Everybody wanna pick a side
Who you wanna be?
Who you wanna be?
Red, green, white blue,
Shirts or skins,
Right or left wing,
I just wanna fly!
I don't want your politics
I gotta take up my own mind
I don't wanna fight
I don't wanna be right!
I just wanna be happy,
I just wanna be free.
I just wanna be my own mind (3X)
I wanna drive a car
I wanna take control, of my life
I wanna be respected,
Cuz' I'm always respectful to you
This ain't my neighborhood,
This ain't my neighborhood
I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go.
I'm gonna sing a long sad song
I'm gonna sing a long sad song
I'm gonna sing a long sad song.
Cuz everybody wanna go outside
Everybody wanna go outside.
Watch the kids play ball
If he runs he's gonna catch it,
Runs fast, he looks like an angel,
He's living in a small town
Everything seems so big, outside
The world is scary,
He don't wanna touch it,
So careful he just wanna stay inside,
But you gotta go outside.
Why's that kid playing alone?
He's standing all by himself
He kinda looks like a mailbox there
Ain't no one gonna pick him up?
Bet you he's got messages to send
Maybe i'll write him,
Maybe I'll write him a letter, write him a song,
Call it 'the mailbox kid.'
Everybody wanna go outside
Everybody wanna pick a side
Who you wanna be?
Who you wanna be?
Red, green, white blue,
Shirts or skins,
Right or left wing,
I just wanna fly!
I don't want your politics
I gotta take up my own mind
I don't wanna fight
I don't wanna be right!
I just wanna be happy,
I just wanna be free.
I just wanna be my own mind (3X)
I wanna drive a car
I wanna take control, of my life
I wanna be respected,
Cuz' I'm always respectful to you
This ain't my neighborhood,
This ain't my neighborhood
I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go.
I'm gonna sing a long sad song
I'm gonna sing a long sad song
I'm gonna sing a long sad song.
Cuz everybody wanna go outside
Everybody wanna go outside.

So beautiful and heartfelt, and your voice sounds
gorgeous. It IS very lo-fi though ... I think it would be
worth trying to re-do it to get a cleaner recording. I know
it's sometimes really hard to recapture the soul of the
song when you re-record, but this is so good it's got to be
worth a try. Thanks for sharing this version though - it
really is lovely.
