Sometimes I write lyrics that are devilishly clever
Does anyone notice? Well, pretty much never
Sweet catchy melodies, yeah I can do that
Layered with harmonies to make them sound fat
I've written songs that were loaded with meaning
Profound for all, despite their left leaning
I've done complex arrangements with 30+ chords
And avid chord theorists are totally bored
chorus
For years and years I've been chugging along
But I still can't write just one popular song
I guess there's no place where my music belongs
'Cause I can't even write just one popular song
Some say they're not funny, but that isn't fair
I've made Mr. Swifty fall out of his chair
Sometimes about mid song we have to hit stop
He's cracking so hard that his head's 'bout to pop
I make simple videos, Tom thinks they're a riot
I slap 'em on youtube and the internet goes quiet
On the Funny Music Project my songs never gauge
And no traffic comes by my lame bandcamp page
chorus
I guess I could write stuff that's empty and feebler
Polished and pointless just like Justin Bieber
But that ain't no fun so it's not in my plans
I don't want to disappoint all my half dozen fans
Has been on Dr. Demento and the Funny Music Project, so at least a few people thought it was funny, besides, Kurt thinks it is, and ya know, that's cool enough.
