Here's the idea, I will start a lyric, I have a loose melody and musical framework in mind, but can change it if need be. We can all collaborate on the song, and credit will be given where credit is due. Write a snippet, a phrase, a word, a verse, suggest a mood for a verse, whatever you feel. Rhymes are not necessary, don't worry about it sounding dumb - my lyrics often are. Don't worry about syntax or the rhythm of the lyric. PLEASE do not contribute anonymously! The message of the song is that people who are sure they know what's best for everyone else are often completely buggered in their own lives....
Here's a start:
It must be difficult for you - when everyone else is wrong
What did we ever do - before you came along?
It must be nice to be so sure - when no one's got a clue
to always know what's right - It must be very good to be you

What a cool idea.....OK, you asked. Here goes....
You think you know what's best for me
You judge me every day.
But when it comes to your own life
You've thrown it all away....
Hey; it's my first time at this.
Your universe is very small, for one with answers for us all.
A king or queen in one's own mind, separates you from human kind.
OK I'm on a roll...
Do you look at me and see yourself
and how it might have been?
Or it is that you wish you could
just start this life again....
How about "Good to Be You" for the title?
Good stuff!!! all good stuff so far, but PLEASE don't be Anonymous! How will I know who to thank and who to credit? No reason to be shy!!!
I guess I had the "crappy" one.
It must be hard for you -
you've heard it all before - what's more
you've written all the songs
and know that mice will never learn to roar
It must be tough to be on cue- when we can't keep the beat
How glorious of you- to hold back your conceit
In a world where noone understands whats right and what is true
oh pardon me I meant to say nobody else but you

hey Rick, this is Bopalina's SON, Jason. Hope you like my lyric. I wrote it for you on my birthday. Feel free to change rearrange or further estrange it as suits your needs, but know you are tampering with perfection. ROCK ON!!!
It's all good - thanks to all who have contributed. We need more though. I suspect some are stopping in and reading without posting. That's ok, but don't be afraid to post something. The worst that can happen is public ridicule. Also, one small critique... rhymes are not as important as the message. s a matter of fact some of my lyrics are a bit out.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet
can your dog fly?
It's the message that's important.
Keep it coming. It'd be great to have a TON of ideas flowing for this.
Rick
Oh fuck. I rhymed; my bad!
Maybe it's just me, but I think it's harder when it DOESN'T rhyme.
Why are you fascinated
with what I do?
Why are you obligated
to let me know?
Come on please won't you tell me
what to do to survive
So that I can face another day.

Ok, I've gone through and tightened some of this up. Please don't be offended if I changed your lines a bit...
I also realized that I started the rhyming thing... Although there are no rules, I sometimes get freer in the verses, and rhyme less. Also, I am seeing the posibility of this taking on an anti-church sentiment. My beliefs are my own, but generally, I have a problem with groups of people who claim that they know the path to heaven or speak to god, or know the right way, while all those OTHERS are going straight to hell.
Anyway, here's what we have so far:
It must be difficult for you - when everyone else is wrong
What ever did we do - before you came along?
It must be nice to be so sure - when no one's got a clue
to always know what's right - It must be very good to be you
You claim to know what's best for us
Your light will show the way
But when it comes to your life
You haven't much to say
The universe is very small,
for one with answers for us all.
and while you wait for Judgement Day,
so many mortals left to save.
Do you look at me and see yourself
and how it might have been?
Or it is that you wish you could
just start this life again....
It must be hard for you -
you've heard it all before
you've written down the words we need
the rules and so much more
It must be tough to be on cue-
when we can't keep the beat
How glorious of you-
to hold back your conceit
In a world where no one understands
whats right and what is true
oh pardon me I meant to say nobody else but you
Why are you fascinated
with what I do?
Why are you obligated
to let me know?
Come on please won't you tell me
what to do to survive
So that I can face another day.
All knowing and all seeing and never known to err,
Dispensing wisdom that's all good.
I'm not sure I could live that that way, but I hear the pay is good.
In the still of the night
When no one else is around
Do you talk in your sleep
for the love of the sound
