Song Lyrics

I woke up this morning with the lyrics, "I wake up and I'm sober, don't even know her." Why, you may ask? I have no idea. I have been wondering that all day. It may or may not have something to do with the fact that my best friend, Kendl Crockett is laying next to me...in her own bed of course. We pushed our beds together--there are two falsehoods this song lyric, however. 1. I don't drink...unless, wait, I am officially 21 now and I might "sleep drink..." (that explains where all the hydrogen peroxide went...I'm kidding.) 2. Even if I DID drink I am pretty darn sure I wouldn't be waking up next to a girl.

This got me thinking: Song lyrics are 90.354% dumb and require no amount of intelligence whatsoever to make it big in this era. What happened to the integrity of good lyricism?! I have Brittany Spears one-hit-wonder "Oops I did it again" stuck in my head this moment. What five-year-old made bank on that poetic script? Can I get in on the biz?

There are few artists that spark my interest any more. William Fitzsimmons is one of them. He is a famous singer/songwriter genius that can testify of Christ and all of his fans--Christian or not--appreciate it. He, among few, can pull at my thoughts and express them in ways I wish I could. Unlike diaper-wearing song writers, this man knows what he's writing. It's a form of expressing himself; an art.

So when I hear "how could you be so heartless?" I can tell you why, cause your lyrics have no meaning, Kanye. In fact, even though you said Beyonce was better than Taylor, we all laughed and our response might be something to the effect of "yo, what, I'm cool. Screw dem' gramma teachers...dawg." See? A ten year old can do it.

What's next, a crappy song about Friday? Oh, wait. They already did that. And for your benefit, they told you the days of the week. Remember how we grew up singing Barney and we were mortified to find that out from our parents, never willing to admit that we still know the cheesy songs? Well get this, our kids are gonna learn the days of the week from the legendary Rebecca Black.

Yeah, take that image to bed and never sleep again.
