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
