Jack Styles

Simple and yet resounding folk tunes with subtle themes of peace and understanding.

Philosophy in its simplest form. Influence doesn't happen with guns blazing, but instead with a smile and a tune. My goal is not only to express myself with music, but also to connect with people while performing it. By the way, if you choose to hear any of my songs, be kind and drop a line at the message board with comments (good or bad).

Lyrics

Drivin' in my car,
Drivin' around.
Drivin' in my car,
But I stay in the same damn town.

If the world is open,
Then why am I still here?
If the world is open,
Then what do I have to fear?

I ain't no poster child,
Ain't no american baby...
I ain't no superstar,
Just a guy that drives you crazy

I'm the squeaky wheel
That never gets the grease
I always keep it real, 
So keep it real with me

Before you tell me to 
Go and fight your war,
You'd better tell me
What am I fighting for?

You always hide behind your 
Half-truths and your lies
Always playing with people's loyalty;
Playing with their lives

And for what?
Some greasy, Oily substance
That sinks into 
Your pores?

And when it's gone, 
You'd just want some more

I won't fight for it,
Won't die for it,
Won't lose my soul

I won't kill someone like me
All I wanted was to rock the world

(chorus)
