This song is not in a battle


I think this was the most technically difficult of my songs to make.I should have removed one of the verses and choruses and made each verse twice as long. Oh well.

LYRICS:
INTRO

VERSE1
You wear expensive shoes Drink fancy booze
You spend more money on whores Than on the weak
The sick Or the poor

CHORUS
When you see something you want you just take it
And when something gets in the way you break it
You’re the pinnacle of the pyramid of needs
A king of pride and greed You’re so pathetic
Yet you’re in charge

VERSE 2
You drive a big black car Drink in classy bars
You’re proud of yourself You’re proud of your wealth
Your hands Your work
Your needs You’re a jerk

BRIDGE
You consume
Everything
You don’t make
Anything

CHORUS

VERSE 3
Your sickly smile
Tells of something vile
It’s in the way you speak
It makes you really reek
Of dollar bills
You went to private school
Yet you’re still a fool
If you learned something
It was to exploit
To use
To steal

BRIDGE

OUTRO

Yup this is the best from you as far as song construction..The vocal came out real good too.The kick is a bit low in the mix....The over all arrangement is  great...I'm not sure why but the production as whole sounds very distorted when everything kicks in..The vocal melody in the verse is amazing,genius stuff man,great melody...Serious talent!

Man you really set up this song construction really great. Its kinda weird that how when everything comes in it sounds all distorted and mumbled.
Whatever the case, good work!

Do you do all of this yourself? You're better then the bands I pay to see and the albums I buy. Go get famous or something. What the fuck.

Youtubed them, and I can definitely see the semblance in their later songs.

Hmm, I may have discovered a new band I like, thanks!

Check out the Grapes of Wrath as well...you might find a resemblance there too, mainly the vox..I think so anyway lol.

These are 2 of my favs...All The Things I Wasn't   You May Be Right

This sounds like your voice I think... Do You Want To Tell Me

OK, That's Enough! LMAO Have to represent my Canadian bros....

re: Yuppie
such a good song
v well recorded

but the mix

some of the time throws the vox into the mush guitar sound...............
its a question of is the guitar sound too broad???....lush...thick?
.or could the vocs be clearer in the mix???.....so they really lift above the guitar sound
its a mix thing...............the song is great!!!!!

its a very fine line.............

i feel that the voc line could be just a bit more 2 the front specially at the start.........

your singing great..........so guess what i want to hear?
