about

A track about people from the music industry taking the piss out of what you love. Labels telling you what to do, managers not picking up the phone, agents telling stories, all of it makes you just want to hang it up sometimes.

lyrics

I’m writing this song to say goodbye
I won’t be coming back again
lord knows how hard I tried
never really got me anywhere in the end

they say we don’t deserve their love
they shot us down
they wore us out
they shot us down
now let’s play dead

I watch all my friends crash and burn
and still I wanted by turn
they shot me right out of the sky
before I even learned how to fly

and all my chords have been turned to dust
and I guess means that I didn’t try hard enough
I can’t replace what I found in you
but maybe in the next life you can let me through
even for a little while

they say we don’t deserve their love
they shot us down
they wore us out
they shot us down
now let’s play dead
