Description
This is a song that I wrote my Junior year in high school. My English prof gave us an assignment to write a satire poem or song (just lyrics). So this was my satire.

Lyrics
Easy to Recline

Underachiever:
I will strive for mediocrity
Try to just get by, in hopes I’ll
Save up all my energy,
Do something great before I die

For now I’m just a little high school boy
With nothing on the line
Need to remember, when September comes,
I’ll be nothing but a mime again

Chorus:
But my hope still remains
That there’s one who can save us
Though it’s easy to recline
And let the world entertain us

But my hope still remains
That there’s one who can save us
Though it’s easy to recline
And let the world entertain us

Spoiled:
I am crazy rich and self absorbed
And I’m pretty immature
I’m disrespectful, and neglectful,
Of all of those who are poor

I deserve the best, the rest, will fail the test
But I’ll succeed because my dad,
Has a billion dollars
So there’s no reason to be sad

Chorus:
But my hope still remains
That there’s one who can save us
Though it’s easy to recline
And let the world entertain us

But my hope still remains
That there’s one who can save us
Though it’s easy to recline
And let the world entertain us, and drain us



Short-sighted:
I’ll just have fun, run all day in the sun,
And party all night long
Live for the moment, there’s no atonement
For my sins they’re far too wrong

No use for truce, I’m out there on the loose,
You can be sure I’ve done it all,
I can’t be strong ‘nough, hold out long ‘nough
Too tired from holding up this wall

Chorus:
But my hope still remains
That there’s one who can save us
Though it’s easy to recline
And let the world entertain us

But my hope still remains
That there’s one who can save us
Though it’s easy to recline
And let the world entertain

But my hope still remains
That there’s one who can save us
Though it’s easy to recline
And let the world entertain us

But my hope still remains
That there’s one who can save us
Though it’s easy to recline
And let the world entertain us, and drain us, and stain us

Great lyrics
Guitar sounds good. The lyrics are right on. You've got some soul in your voice. Something you can't teach.

Great song,

Dave

Spirited
There's a great vibe here: the voice and guitar are often on separate timing paths (I suspect both were done on the same pass); an enviable freedom. You are definitely one to watch.

Great!
i'm glad you like the looseness there. I'm never quite sure how tight to keep vox & guitar or how free it should feel. I don't want to sound sloppy.

I actually recorded them at different times. But it was hard at first when I was recording because I was so used to playing & singing this song at the same time. Thanks for the comment!
