I'm writing words for something That someday will resemble a song ♪ The empty page just mocks me Seems my poetic genius is gone ♪ Poet Laureate, rise up, help me Under Milk Wood you can find me You know this should be easy It's just a freaking song Write it out and don't forget the words You know this should be easy It won't take me so long Shout it out and tell it to the world ♪ I have the TV blasting For inspiration sparked by the news ♪ Sometimes a headline hits me A story I could possibly use ♪ Gun sales rising, more cops killing Our air poisoned, are you breathing? You know this should be easy It's just a freaking song Write it out and don't forget the words You know this should be easy It won't take me so long Shout it out and tell it to the world ♪ I look at words and music that I wrote before And wonder why it ever took so long These hours and days and weeks The song is just three minutes, then it's gone ♪ You know this should be easy It's just a freaking song Write it out and don't forget the words You know this should be easy It won't take me so long Shout it out and tell it to the world
