"Song Fodder"
(2022 Beckley/Lobello)
It could've been your blue eyes
It could've been your long, blonde hair
Somethin' 'bout you blinded me
I didn't see you didn't care
I fell hook, line, and sinker
In over my heart somehow
Baby, it's time to toss you back
You're song fodder now
(Chorus):
I'm gonna strangle you with the chords I play
Cut you to pieces with the words I say
That'll teach you to hurt a writer
Who plays all over town
I'm gonna set you up with each lie I tell
Then break your heart with a hook from hell
Poetic justice will be served
You're song fodder now
Your one blue eye is gorgeous
The other's chalky grey
You're pretty for a bottle blonde
Pretty what I just can't say
I'm sorry if this hurts you
Yeah, right, you bet, and how!
There ain't much more to say, except
You're song fodder now
(Chorus):
I'm gonna strangle you with the chords I play
Cut you to pieces with the words I say
That'll teach you to hurt a writer
Who plays all over town
I'm gonna set you up with each lie I tell
Then break your heart with a hook from hell
Poetic justice will be served
You're song fodder now
(Bridge):
What's that you say
You're a songwriter, too
And you could kick my sorry butt
In a guitar pull
Oh, is that your real name
Yeah, I know it, wow!
I guess the tables have been turned
I'm song fodder now
(Chorus):
You're gonna strangle me with the chords you play
Cut me to pieces with the words you say
That'll teach me to hurt a writer
Who plays all over town
You're gonna set me up with each lie you tell
Then break my heart with a hook from hell
Poetic justice will be served
I'm song fodder now
(Tag):
Poetic justice will be served
I'm song fodder now
