about
A song to an obnoxious member of a music site that would ridicule the music of unsigned musicians - many of those were beginners. I made up most of the lyrics on the spot and then touched up a few areas. I started off angry and ended the song cracking up.
lyrics
Sometimes I need to shout
to let my feelings out
when life leaves me in doubt.
Some find nowhere to blend
so hard to find a friend
figure "time to pretend!"
Play a BIG SHOT to an amateur lot so hard to get caught!
No one can tell, the game that you sell - I like how you spell!
Critiques you claim as light
don't really shine that bright
most seem to just incite.
So, let's see what you can do.
Can you play the kazoo?
I'll give you a nice review!
Listen BIG SHOT, I don't admire you a lot, or the lessons that you taught.
What made you come here? Did you have a bad year? Next time you should try beer!
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH... "constructive critcism".. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH... "can't anybody take the heat?" BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH... "I am BulgarianBeat, a very successful european promater" ...whatever the hell "promater" is!
I know you have the right
to say what you might
can't you be decent too?
Most learn that when they're six
A lesson learned that sticks
nobody likes you pricks!
C'mon BIG SHOT you're put on the spot, let's see what you got...
put up a song, show me I'm wrong or is it too difficult?
I hope someday you see
a cooler way to be
and you can be set free - in the mind, not the mouth!
Probably won't be too soon
probably won't make a tune
so safe and so immune!
C'mon BIG SHOT I put you on the spot let's see what you got!
Put up a song, don't need to be long, prove me wrong!
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH... "Freedom of speech man" BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH... "I have the right to say what I want" "Bulgarian Beat has the right to say what he wants about any song because after all I am a very successful music promater." I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT "PROMATER" IS!! WHATEVER!!!
I've wasted too much breath
you're probably all full of meth
that stuff can cause you death!
C'mon Mr. ?????
God knows you're not tone deaf
C'mon put up a song let's see what you can do!
So BIG SHOT I put YOU on the spot let's see what you got!
Put up a song, it don't need to be long and prove me wrong!
Can you hear me BIG SHOT? What the hell have you got? I'm putting you on the spot.
Let's see what you do. Can you play the kazoo??? I'll give you a nice review!
Oh, Bobby! You're getting so good on the kazoo! You played "Mary Had a Little Lamb" ... uh, VERY NICE! Don't worry about those couple of notes you missed in the middle, it could happen to anyone. Keep your head up young guy!
