| So I took my guitar
|
| And I threw down some chords
|
| And some words I could sing without shame
|
| And I soon had a song
|
| I played it around
|
| For some friends but they all said the same
|
| They said music’s for fools
|
| You should go back to school
|
| The future is prisons and math
|
| So I did what they said
|
| Now my children are fed
|
| 'Cause they pay me to do what I’m asked
|
| I forgot all my songs
|
| The words now are wrong
|
| And I burned my guitar in a rage
|
| But the fire came to rest
|
| In your white velvet breast
|
| So somehow I just know that it’s safe |
