Story behind the song
Made this a while ago for Film class about the movie Amadeus. From the point of view of composer Salieri.
Lyrics
I hate Mozart, that silly little man
I want to punch him in the face but I don't think I can
I'm a better person and I've worked really hard
Mozart's still more popular, that evil decadent lard
I've envied Mozart since I was just a kid
He had music lessons but schoolwork is all I did
I wanted to compose music to praise the glory of God
The Lord gave me the finger while giving him a nod
I prayed
Help me Jesus and I'll give you
My piety and chastity
I'll be humble if you make me smart
I'll do all that I can to be like Mozart
I disliked Mozart because of his great skill
But there was a point when we became enemies for realz
A penalty to play hard songs was given to Mozart
I said "Play Salieri," and he produced a fart
I said
Damn you Jesus you've deserted me
So I'll burn your cross and it's your loss
Damn you God if you won't do your part
I'll do all that I can to bring down Mozart
I killed Mozart if inadvertently
I dressed up and made him think his dead dad had sent me
In ordering the requiem I made him drink a lot
He stayed up all night writing it but his liver was shot
I am the saint of mediocrity
I absolve you
I absolve you
Why why Jesus did you do all that
You'd rather he die than let me lie
I can't have glory just a broken heart
You hated me more than you loved Mozart
Damn you Jesus you've deserted me
So I'll burn your cross and it's your loss
Damn you God if you won't do your part
I'll do all that I can to bring down Mozart
