[ Featuring Scott Bakula, 'The Connector' Original Cast ]
[ETHAN]
The thing of it is, Brian
You don't know how it's gonna end when you start
The words pour out of you like water
And you let 'em flow
This city is a current—
You plug in and it drives you, it drives you
The story chases you no matter where you go
And someone had to write it
Someone had to capture it
Puzzle out the how and why
Somehow I could see the
Something in the shadow
But let me just assure you
I wasn't planning to be
The voice of my generation
Before you're really ready
You've become part of a bigger conversation
You're a landmark on the landscape
When you've barely settled in
There are certain expectations
You have to insulate yourself from the clamor
You have to shut it down
Or you get deafened by the din
But I was here to write it
I was here to capture it—
Twenty-four or twenty-five
I was on the edge of
More than I could handle
But even from the outset
I've never wanted to be
The voice of my generation
[ETHAN & CONRAD]
I wasn't trying to be some literary sensation
I wasn't looking to see the path to my coronation
One more deadline
One more headline
One more month goes by
[ETHAN]
But I wasn't asking to be
The voice of my generation
The thing of it is, Brian
Talent just does what it does
I'm sure some people have a problem with that
