I found this chord, oh please dad, can we keep it? You say: song that there’s a minor chord, its only good for somber feelings So I put it back down where it was You teach me right from wrong You are my dad And I am your song But look at me, a minute in And now I’ve found some friends They back me up, they make me fuller, Act as perfect complements And now people keep on stopping me To tell me what I am What this sound is all about And what it means to all of them I am anguish, I am heartache I am unbearable to hear I am closure, I am power, I am brutally sincere But dad you never told me I could make these people cry I thought you brought me here so I could be something they like You say you didn’t mean it, never wanted this for me, I may not Be the song you meant to write, but I’m the one they need The one they need Sometimes you get it right, even if they take it wrong You are my dad But I’m their song ------- MATT'S SONG Bug's Challenge: The song must have the initials B.U.G. Title: Buried Under Gary Lyrics: why do you come here they say every summer don't you have anywhere better to be you arrive with the butterfly weed blow into town like a cottonwood seed something's buried under Gary Indiana something's buried under Gary Indiana there's blood on the lake shore keening from the wild haven't you felt it moving deep in the soil so i have coming for years every summer cause that's when the symptoms appear ask your friends bout their prophetic dreams ask your kids bout the shadows they've seen seems like everyone but you's got a feeling something's buried under Gary Indiana something's buried under Gary Indiana it'll swallow the steel mills the lake's gonna boil haven't you felt it crawling deep in the soil something's buried under Gary Indiana something's buried under Gary Indiana
