A rock-blues song
PANARCHY is the vehicle for performing the more progressive rock songs written by Scott Gordon. The band was started by Scott Gordon (keyboards/vocals/guitars)
Welcome to PANARCHY - proof positive that the craft of songwriting - intelligent, poignant lyrics, and innovative but sonorous harmony of voices and instruments - is not dead. PANARCHY is for me what UTOPIA was for Todd Rundgren. A real band for the band, in-between my own acoustic solo performing and recording.

Story behind the song
This is a PANARCHY original that we used to play live and that evolved into a re-write of lyrics recently and was a favorite at our 2008 performance.
Lyrics
I WANT TO LIVE 1991 – Dallas TX, 2008 – Costa Rica I Want to Live - I Want to Breathe - I Want to See I Want to Love - I Want to Give - and I Want to be Free Living in this cold and crazy world - it ain't easy I know But I Want to Live - I'm going to make my stand here - Made that decision so many years ago I Want to Breathe - breathe in the air of life's energy Don't want to choke on plastic smoke or cheap fragrances - destructive chemistry I Want to See clearly - not merely - what is only nearly - all there is that we can see Like from the newspapers TV and magazines where you only get insanity – I Want to See! I Want to Live - I Want to Breathe - I Want to See I Want to Love - I Want to Give - and I Want to be Free I Want to Love - baby I need you by my side This can't be the end, so let's not pretend - or play those games of foolish pride I Want to Give - people I've got ideas and energy to spare I want to see a world where children thrive and come alive - and Grow on the love that we share I Want to be Free - free to think - free to write - free to seek for a better way Don't want to be held down, pushed around, or forced underground – Not for one more day - I Want to be Free! I Want to Live - I Want to Breathe - I Want to See I Want to Love - I Want to Give - and I Want to be Free I Want to Live - 1991, 2008 - Scott Gordon
