this song wasn't on out of the womb. I'm sticking it in here just for fun. We recorded this for a comp that was all covers of 70's top 40 songs. We were the last band to pick a song and the guy told me that all the best songs had been taken already, then he shows me the list of songs. I said what do you mean all the best songs are taken. I couldn't believe no one grabbed this little gem. It has to be the most disgustingly arrogant pop song ever written. We had to use Barry Manilow's lyrics for the comp, but here, for your enjoyment, are my, vastly superior (if I might say myself) lyrics.
lyrics
I've been a delinquent child forever
Since I stole my first song
I put the fuck words and the melodies together
I am music and this is my song
I write the songs that make your eardrums ring
I write the songs about those disgusting things
I write the songs that are like spit in your eye
I write the songs, I write the songs
My home lies deep within you
I've got my own place up your hole
Now when I look out through your eyes
I control your mind, I control your lives
I write the songs that make your eardrums ring
I write the songs about those disgusting things
I write the songs that are like spit in your eye
I write the songs, I write the songs
My music makes you dance
Jump off the stage and break your backs
I wrote some punk rock so you can start a movement
My music will fill your brain to the threshold of pain
It's from me, it's for you
It's from me, it's for you
It's from me, it's for you
it's a world wide cacophony
I write the songs that make your parents scream
I put the lyrics to their sickest fantasies
I probably contribute to juvenile suicide
I write the songs, I write the songs
(I'm not going to bother giving you the last verse, it uses the original lyrics. they are disgusting and have absolutely no socially redeemable qualities of any kind. If I wrote those lyrics I would kill myself....and my children would be rich, but very very ashamed of where their money came from)
