New Song / Original Words By Marc Percansky / Copyright August 25th, 2013

Another one still unrecorded.
I remember thinking around the time of working on this that I wanted to write a happy song.
Then this came out and I thought maybe next time. 

My mind is stale and I am going to jail
Going to write a song and it won’t take long
Six short fucking years and now I have an old dog
Everyone is so negative it wears you down
I may as well be alone and not make a sound
Where were you when I needed a friend?
Now you are calling to make amends
Please leave me alone in my own head

Here is the chorus, not intended to bore us
The music business sucks, go on ignore us

Used up all our resources
Turned everything to shit
Nothing has any value
Nothing ever fits
You go on and kiss ass
Would you like some jazz to go with it or a little razz ma tazz?
I can take this seriously and not make a joke
I have a lifetime of heartache, worries and regret
While you just stand there and smoke!

Here is the chorus, sing along with me
The music industry sucks, I still like the CD!

This could go on and on forever
Of this stuff there is no end
Robert Johnson said it will bust your brains out
If he was still around, he would be my best friend!
After I am gone, think of me what you will
If I did one good thing, that would be better still!
Maybe in the next lifetime I will write a happy tune
Instead of being long gone down the river bend and waiting on you!

Here is the chorus, I cheat, lie, beg, borrow and steal
I hurt the one I love, my word and a promise ain’t no big deal!
