about

I wrote the chorus sometime in 2007 but couldn't really find anything to go with it. The music of the bridge had been written for a while before that and was just itching to be a part of this song. The verse music didn't come together until about 3 weeks ago. After that I just wrote some words about game shows and radio. Song done! I'm pretty sure I was watching cats and old game shows as I worked on this song. I really like Match Game. Gene Rayburn and Richard Dawson are my heroes.

lyrics

Once I get back I will clean my room and write more things in first person about how I am smart and they're not while watching cats and lots of old game shows.

Once I get back I will fix doorknob and make a list of my Top 5 bands. "When you say Elvis, do you mean Costello?" You know I always do, by now you should not have to ask.

Your honor, here's my case.
Citizens' Band, frequencies jammed.
Radio spam, pre-programmed
Licensed ham, no exam.

We work for the betterment of state and man and government with the steady hand of fate the better ones will demonstrate.

Home. I want to go home.
