Ode to William Blake

And I try to write some lyrics
But it's just a bunch of hooey
I know, it sucks
But man, keep cool
I just try to find some gimmick
To mimic bands I like
I know, It's not glorious
But man, relax
I just try to write some lyrics
But it's just a bunch of hooey
I know, it sucks
But man, keep cool
I just try to find some gimmick
To mimic bands I like
I know, it's not glorious
But man, relax
And I try to use some specific
Terms to hide my lack
Of knowledge
That's lame
I know, shut up!
Cause I try to close that verse
To lead you to the chorus
So boring
You're right
But man, just smile
I just try to use (to use) some specific (some specific)
Terms to hide my lack (your lack)
Of knowledge (of knowledge)
That's lame (oh yeah that's lame)
I know, shut up!
Cause I try (yes try!) to close (to close that verse?) that verse
To lead you to the chorus (lead me to the chorus)
So boring (yeah it's so fucking boring)
You're right (yeah)
But man, just smile, I just try

Grab a book from your daddy's shelf
Circle words and build pathetic rhymes
Look at your mirror, now you're William Blake
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

Ok
Now it's time to stop pretending
You've something poetic to say
You know, nobody
Cares about what you try
To write (to write?) some lyrics (some lyrics)
But it's just a bunch of hooey (just a bunch of crap man)
I know (you know), it sucks (that sucks)
But man, keep cool
Now it's time (yeah it's time) to stop (stop it please!)
Pretending (yeah)
You've something poetic to say (poet? You really man?)
You know (yeah), nobody (yeah I know)
Cares about what you try

Grab a book from your daddy's shelf
Circle words and build pathetic rhymes
You know bands have done it for ages
They couldn't make head nor tail of it all
Look at your mirror, now you're William Blake
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

Grab a book from your daddy's shelf
Circle words and build pathetic rhymes
Look at your mirror, now you're William Blake
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
