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
