First Song on the Album

This is the first song on the album
It better be good cause it's the first one
Don't wanna turn people off in the first 10 seconds
And make em start having second guesses
About the money they just spent
Unless they downloaded it
Illegally which would make me happy
Cause it means I have a popular CD
In today's backwards music industry
If you're being robbed it means you're probably awesome
But I get ahead of myself
Here we go now it's time to start the show
This is my first CD where I get to be
Funny, happy, sad, mad, totally Chad
but it's not what I do for my job mainly due
To the fact that this first track lacks a catchy dubstep drop
NEVERMIND
I want you to know that I've changed my sound
because a guy with a guitar isn't in right now
I'll never get a record deal from being myself
But I could probly get one being everyone else because
There's no way that this song will one day be put on
The radio 'cause the 2nd has different words and flows poorly
But oh well guess I'm not meant to sell lots and lots
of CDs, T-shirts, and hoodies 'cause I only appease myself
Alright enough of this goofy ass lyrical nonsense
Comedic words are my first line of defense
But underneath all that is my mental fat
That I lose every year then gain right back
And I question if I really have the heart
To go the distance in this game called art
Is it more about doing what I think is funny?
Or compromising that to make more money?
I'm told it's a combination of the two
And if you do it long enough it stops bothering you
Oh really? So that's how this whole thing works
And all this time I thought you put the art first
But now I get it so I'll stop going crazy
Cause I'll get paid to be generic and lazy
Which means I should probably end this song
with a generic that lasts way too long
no thanks
Here we go this is how I start the show with a vow
That this CD will be completely unfiltered me
So get ready to be weirded out
The first half I will try to make you laugh
Then I'll slide sneakily deep in my psyche
Filled with worry and misle
