It's Just a Frickin' Song (feat. Don Airey)
I'm writing words for something
That someday will resemble a song
The empty page just mocks me
Seems my poetic genius is gone
Poet Laureate, rise up, help me
Under Milk Wood you can find me
You know this should be easy
It's just a freaking song
Write it out and don't forget the words
You know this should be easy
It won't take me so long
Shout it out and tell it to the world
I have the TV blasting
For inspiration sparked by the news
Sometimes a headline hits me
A story I could possibly use
Gun sales rising, more cops killing
Our air poisoned, are you breathing?
You know this should be easy
It's just a freaking song
Write it out and don't forget the words
You know this should be easy
It won't take me so long
Shout it out and tell it to the world
I look at words and music that I wrote before
And wonder why it ever took so long
These hours and days and weeks
The song is just three minutes, then it's gone
You know this should be easy
It's just a freaking song
Write it out and don't forget the words
You know this should be easy
It won't take me so long
Shout it out and tell it to the world
That someday will resemble a song
The empty page just mocks me
Seems my poetic genius is gone
Poet Laureate, rise up, help me
Under Milk Wood you can find me
You know this should be easy
It's just a freaking song
Write it out and don't forget the words
You know this should be easy
It won't take me so long
Shout it out and tell it to the world
I have the TV blasting
For inspiration sparked by the news
Sometimes a headline hits me
A story I could possibly use
Gun sales rising, more cops killing
Our air poisoned, are you breathing?
You know this should be easy
It's just a freaking song
Write it out and don't forget the words
You know this should be easy
It won't take me so long
Shout it out and tell it to the world
I look at words and music that I wrote before
And wonder why it ever took so long
These hours and days and weeks
The song is just three minutes, then it's gone
You know this should be easy
It's just a freaking song
Write it out and don't forget the words
You know this should be easy
It won't take me so long
Shout it out and tell it to the world
