I wrote a song
That everyone loved
With an acoustic guitar
And a rhyming thesauras
And I found an angle
That no one had thought of
The story wrapped
In an undeniable chorus
And everyone fell in love with that song
It must be the way that the melody
Marries the lyrics
Someone should hear this
Cut one is the song
I booked a few gigs
At every regional bar
And sold thousands of copies
From the trunk of my car
An underground journalist
Said it was hot
And it could really take off
If track 2 got a shot
He wrote I fell in love with that song
It must be the way that the melody
Marries the lyrics
Someone should hear this
Cut two is the song
I landed a deal
They loved my cd
A&R was excited about
Track number 3
But said the snare was too loud
And guitar too distorted
Let's get big named producer
And just re-record it
Cause we all believe that is the song
It must be the way that the melody
Marries the lyric
The public should hear it
Cut 3 is the song
The producer had never heard
Demos this great
And there was just something special
About 5, 6 and 8
The record execs
Said the research was in
They had made up their mind
They're now goin' with track 10
Cause everyone fell in love with that song
We couldn't believe they were serious
They had to be jokin' no the public had spoken
Cut 10 is the one
So the marketing geniuses
Developed a plan
To spend lots of money
And package the band
Hit the road in a bus
The show started to gel
But we couldn't recoup
With no records to sell
But the fans fell in love with the songs
They said where can we find the cd
We just downloaded 3...free on kazaa
La la la la...
And radio said if a song had potential
Cut 4 surely had it
But nobody had the balls to add it
So the record came out
And it sat on the shelf
There was no need to talk about songs 9 thru 12
After the whole thing was over and done
The public still talked about song number 1
Everyone fell in love with that song
It must be the way that the melody marries the lyrics
But no one would hear it
They all fell in love with that song
Yeah I may have written
The greatest most passionate song no one's ever heard
We should have just covered freebird
