Intro

So I took my guitar

And I threw down some chords

And some words I could sing without shame

And I soon had a song

I played it around

For some friends but they all said the same

They said music's for fools

You should go back to school

The future is prisms and math

So I did what they said

Now my children are fed

'Cause they pay me to do what I'm asked

(For this next set get more intense and strum harder as in the song)

I forgot all my songs

The words now are wrong

And I burned my guitar in a rage

(get softer)

But the fire came to rest

In your white velvet breast

So somehow I just know that it's safe.
