Song about how I don't like being the only songwriter in the damn band!
My bandmates blatantly refusing to contribute to material!
Fellers…
How can you expect me
To brave the music with my eyes closed
I’m a sitting duck for loneliness
And I’m in this thing alone
Filled to brim with rhyme and spin
Boxed-in genius with no outlet!
I’m a double eight… I’ll demonstrate
But your praise would knock me out
A little understanding, a simple cliché
Because you’re so demanding, so stuck in your ways
I’d take an eye for an eye and happily go blind
With your expectations heaped on my back
It’s such a simple life, your life on the track
If I could claim the same, you wouldn’t hear me complain!
And we’ve changed
But you’ve changed
And now you’re charging by the hour
And I’ve changed
But she’s changed
So the sweetness turns so sour
The decision’s really up to you
And so there’s only one thing left to do...
Change
Change is seldom easy
But not to change is not an option
It’s a one-strike rule, a one-week school
And even then we’d kick you out…
Sick to death of old regrets
Subject matter is a lottery
It’s a gruelling task… it’s mine - just ask
It’s a common fact – you know it!
And conversation can smother the silence
But the true relationship stutters and dies
In spite of every common hope and borrowed goal
Crossing lines is all very fine
But can you be someone that I can rely on
Broken friendship is a very dirty phrase…
And we’ve changed
But you’ve changed
And now you’re charging by the hour
And I’ve changed
But she’s changed
So the sweetness turns so sour
The decision’s really up to you
Although I’ll change the choice and count for two
Because I know what’s best, not point of view
There’s really only one thing left to do...
Change
