Opinion on my lyrics for Americana, Country/Folk…

[markandrew]

Hello, this song is not for a specific listing per se. This would be in the Americana, Country, or Folk genre. Not for film or TV. I’m thinking a modern-day Roger Miller clone could sing this with a twang…

I am looking for a collaborator…
I would love to work with a good singer/guitar player.

I am open for any comments….

VERSE
You know something is up when your lawn furniture is in the pool
Perhaps it was something you did while acting a fool
While the airline is trying out a new pilot program
The police are at your front door with a battering ram

Your computer is now taken over by Al Gore rhythms
Protesting something that says activism
Trying your best fighting someone or something
Even if it turns out to be yet another dumb thing

CHORUS
But no worries, all good, really it is
Don’t worry, there will be no pop quiz
Your comfort animal Wild Turkey is ready for a walk
While a needlepoint artist tattoos as you talk

VERSE
The court has assigned you to be heard by Judge Mental
Tell him you can’t pay until you get your next supplemental
Everything’s now run by Google, the new world power
They watch your every move every half hour

There’s a clean-up on aisle three, at the A&P
Your best friend from prison just called he is now a parolee
Someone is listening in on your party line
Don’t step in that blue paint, it’s by Yves Klein

Tonight will be different after last call
No need to walk, no need to crawl
No need to make love to your hand
They no longer sell newspapers at the newsstand

CHORUS
But no worries, all good, really it is
Don’t worry, there will be no pop quiz
Your comfort animal Wild Turkey is ready for a walk
While a needlepoint artist tattoos as you talk

VERSE
General Electric n’ General Motors are at war
With General Mills n’ General Hospital for what they stand for
The boat drifts with the current until you put the rudder in
Row verses wade, where you sit is where you been

Ranch dressing is best when riding a horse
Just don’t hoard and be a clotheshorse
When surfing the waves, it depends on your stance
In the design business, it’s best if you freelance

I’ll sum it up here with a nice ribbon on it
To be in the moment is all there is to it
Love equals God, three chords n’ the truth
Free will, make good choices, n’ you’ll keep your youth

CHORUS
But no worries, all good, really it is
Don’t worry, there will be no pop quiz
Your comfort animal Wild Turkey is ready for a walk
While a needlepoint artist tattoos as you talk
