WHAT I'M TUNING INTO: "HEAD FULL OF DOUBT/ROAD FULL OF PROMISE"

Stumbled across this song a few months ago, but I can't for the life of me remember where...
Don't you hate that?

Well then I caught their performance on the Grammy's (did you see it?!--with Bob Dylan and Mumford & Sons--very good!) and ever since then I have been playing this song on my Droid.






I don't often post lyrics to the videos that I post, but these are definitely post worthy:


There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s right
And it comes in black and it comes in white
And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it

When nothing is owed, deserved or expected
And your life doesn’t change by the man that’s elected
If you’re loved by someone, you’re never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it 

There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out

There’s a darkness upon you that’s flooded in light
And in the fine print they tell you what’s wrong and what’s right
And it flies by day and it flies by night
And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it

There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out
