about

Another FAWM challenge. This one was to write a song about children or childhood. The inspiration came to me after a whole day of my son throwing temper tantrums. I know you're not supposed to laugh at your own jokes but the wah-wah guitar makes me laugh really hard still.

lyrics

Intro:
"The playground is where all children learn the nature of the One True Law. As we grow older and childhood fades, The Law remains immutable and perfect."

Those kids won't let me play
And that one pulled my hair
The Grown-ups said I was to blame
And made me stand over there

So now I'm pissed off, I'm looking for a fight
I can find one anywhere
But the Grown-ups tell me, "Sit back down"
I'm tellin' you, it's not fair!

It's not fair!
(Well no one said it would be)
It's not fair!
(You can't expect everything to go your way)
It's not fair!
(You have to learn to calm down...)
It's not fair!
(...and listen to reason once in awhile... I... just... ARGH!)
It's not fair! I'm telling you that I won't play nice!

"solo"

It isn't fair
(Stop it.)
It's not fair
(Stop.)
It isn't fair
(Calm down!)
It's not fair
(Would you just listen?)
It isn't fair
(For just one moment...)
It's not fair... it isn't fair ... It's not fair!
(I am trying to explain something to you...! ARGH!)

The All-Girl Prison for Models Maryland

I record almost every night. The results are hasty and weird and embarrassing. I post some of them as albums. My goal is to find out what happens if I keep doing it.
