Lyrics:

NEW WAY

It's time for a new way – 'cause I know that something's wrong
It's time for a new way – it's been going on too long
Tired of waiting
No more hesitating
Future's unwritten – not set in stone
It's time for a new way – I know change is gonna come

It's part of the new way – 'cause I don't like what I see
It's part of the new way – and it's gonna start with me
Got to do better
Get my act together
Future's unwritten – I’ll find my way home
It's part of the new way – I know change is gonna come

Politicians, television, everybody’s on a mission
Competition, blind ambition, every day an inquisition
Opposition, terrorism, every word creates division
Cynicism, pessimism, no no no to nihilism

Politicians, television, everybody’s on a mission
Competition, blind ambition, every day an inquisition
Opposition, terrorism, every word creates division
Cynicism, pessimism, no no no to nihilism – oh!

Make way for the new way – can you feel it in the air
Make way for the new way – see the signals everywhere
Don’t wanna miss it
Don’t try and resist it
Future's unwritten – let’s make it our own
Make way for the new way – I know change is gonna come
I know change is gonna come
I know change has got to come


About:

The second EP from the George Collins Band, "Songs for Grown-ups," is a collection of tunes brimming with literate and insightful narratives and sharp pop hooks.

Collins’s songwriting hits that sweet spot where art and craft intersect. This passionate pop/rock with a modern vintage feel recalls masterful tunesmiths like the Beatles, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, XTC, Elvis Costello, Tom Petty, Counting Crows, The Wallflowers, Crowded House and Wilco, among others.

His older siblings and cousins turned him on to music at a very young age, and he received his first guitar at age four. Collins started writing songs immediately, and pursued both guitar and piano through his youth, taking lessons in a variety of styles while playing in bands and fine-tuning his songwriting.

During his university years, Collins supported himself by performing as a solo act in pubs around Charlottesville, VA, where he became well-known on the vibrant local music scene. He also played in an eleven-piece Earth, Wind & Fire-esque band called Common Knowledge which included Carter Beauford and the late LeRoi Moore. Beauford and Moore later became founding members of The Dave Matthews Band.

“While backstage with Carter and Dave during their concert in Prague a few years ago, I joked that I was in The Dave Matthews Band even before Dave Matthews,” Collins says with a good-natured laugh. “They both burst out laughing, and Dave clicked his beer bottle to mine and said, ‘If anyone ever asks me about that, I will back you up one hundred percent!’”
