Name: Three And A Half Minutes
Duration: P00H03M30S
Description: "Three And A Half Minutes" is a song that is very much inspired by work as a teacher at a public school in a socially problematic area. Most of the kids I deal with think that being rude and loud is the one way to be seen by their teachers, parents and friends. The song starts chaotic, then enters with an inner monologue and finally evolves into something driving and grand.

lyrics

I don't want to be your next three a' half minute song / I want to be more / something that you really care for / I don't want to be the next kid you throw out of the room / I want to be more - someone that you really care for

I don't know who I am but I know
that I'm able to make you lose it all
I can't be tamed and I can't slow down
if you don't see me - if you don't see me now

I don't want to get lost in detention class / I want to be more - someone you don't ignore / I don't want to hear you say "there ain't no use" / I want to be more - someone that you hope for...

I don't know who I am but I know
that I'm able to make you lose it all
I can't be tamed and I can't slow down
if you don't see me - if you don't see me now
