Uncomplicated, and not to serious of a message so you can listen after a busy day, and not have to think to hard to get a meaning, or get bogged down with depre
My name is Adam Thorton, I am 16, and an aspiring musician. I have been writing songs since I was about 14 and recording songs since I was about 11. I have been trying to make a real effort to get myself to sound as best as I can, and the songs on the fallowing pages are the result. With each one I am learning something new, and (I think) getting a little better as they go. I hope one day I can make it into the buisness, whether it be through producing, or performing myself. I don't think I want to really soon though, because I would really like to just remain a kid for a while. Thanks for reading. -Adam.

Story behind the song
I was actually messing around on the guitar making up words for a theme song to Six Flags. I liked the toon, but didn't really want to write a jingle for a theme park, so I started playing around with the words. If you notice, Rich Rags rhymes with Six Flags. I wrote the chorus without really knowing where I was going, and figured out that rich rags sounded like a modification of the expresion rags to riches, and I just wrote around that. On another note, the second "lier, lier" Line was originaly "The only was to mask it, undoubtibly a casket, casket" but I didn't like the vibe it put out, so I just reused the first line.
Lyrics
I'm nobody's fool boy. No rich lady's pool boy. I got no money to pay the rent. Before it's in my hand, all my money's all been spent. Now I'm one of their best tennants, due to falsification of documents. I got no money but I'm the richest man in town. I'm so far in debt I could be in the ground. Lier, lier. Pants on fire. Rich rags. Rich rags. Rich rags. Rich rags. And I am on the run. I stole from others, but they don't know it. Now I'm richer than a rich dead poet. I doubt they ever find that I stole it. I'm very very nervous but I don't think I show it. Lier, lier. Pants on fire. Rich rags. Rich rags. Rich rags. Rich rags. And I am on the run. And I am on the run. And I am on the run. Identity theft. Identity theft. Identity theft. Identity theft. Rich rags. Rich rags. Rich rags. Rich rags. And I am on the run. And I am on the run. And I am on the run.
