Lyrics

Peace and Harmony

THE RECORD PEOPLE LOVE ME WHEN I?M GOOD
AND TURNING OUT THE SONGS THAT KEEP THE PEOPLE DANCING
THAT?S WHAT THEY WANT ME TO DO, BUT I DON?T CARE.

THE SONGS I HEAR THESE DAYS ARE FILLED WITH EMPTINESS
AND SUNG BY MODELS USING CLICHES, DRESSED UP FANCY.
THAT?S WHAT THEY WANT ME TO DO, BUT I DON?T CARE

(CHORUS)
I?LL FIND AN OPEN DOOR. THAT?S WHAT I?M HOPING FOR
AND PEACE AND HARMONY.


I WRITE THE SONGS AND REMINISCE ABOUT THE DAY WHEN
GOOD SONGWRITERS WERE THE BACKBONE OF THE COUNTRY.
THAT?S WHAT I AM GONNA DO, ?CAUSE I?M RIGHT THERE.

SO TAKE SOME TIME AND GO BEYOND THE VIDEO
ALONG THE BOTTOM WHERE THERE?S CREDIT TO THE WRITER.
THAT?S WHAT I AM GONNA DO. ?CAUSE I?M DOWN THERE.

(CHORUS)

I CAN SEE STAFF WRITERS AT COMPUTERS USING FORMULAS
AND MASS PRODUCING CRAP AND THAT?S TOP 40.
THAT?S WHAT THEY WANT ME TO DO. BUT I DON?T CARE.

SO THIS SONG?S DEDICATED TO COMPOSERS WHO MAY NEVER HAVE THE CHANCE TO MAKE A RECORD.
MY HAT GOES OFF TO YOU. ?CAUSE I WAS THERE.

(CHORUS)
