    Story Behind the Song
    I am not a lyricist. I get frustrated often trying to write a good poem. So I sat up one night and wrote the dumbest thing I could think of and it surprisingly reflected my own frustrations in songwriting. It's still dumb, though.

    Production of the tune took about a year. The music began before the lyrics. It started with a bass/guitar funk groove and when I decided to use it for the aforementioned poem, it expanded from there.

    Lyrics
    Green grass
    Blue skies
    I laugh
    She cries

    Your up
    I'm down
    I smile
    You frown

    Neverending opposition
    Feeling in my situation
    That we'll never get to see the end

    Stay together, here forever
    Through the thicker and the thinner
    By my side, and I will be your friend

    *CHORUS
    Well if I could write,
    I'd write a song
    And I'd try not
    To make it too long

    And all this time I've spent I've tried
    And here I am at 25
    And look what I've done - not a thing
    And it would help if only I could sing...

    Won't you
    Take me
    Burn me
    Bake me

    What's right
    Is wrong
    Just like
    This song

    All this stupid symbolism
    Turns into a pool of jizm
    As I try to keep it all in time

    Watch out for my crazy lyrics
    Wild concepts and hysterics
    As I try to make this next one rhyme

    *CHORUS
