Updating the lyrics

#1 Post by themanintheseersuckersuit » Sun Mar 20, 2016 6:55 pm

Some years ago I started writing a Blues/Country song I called She got the CDs I Got The Vinyl Blues

I came up with some new lyrics today

She got the Keurig I got the Bunn
She got the flat screen I got the fat tv
She got the Bluerays I just got the blues

Feel free to add your own
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

She took my dog. I still have the fleas.

(This is for song-writing purposes only. My own dogs don't have fleas, as they are picky about the company they keep.)

She got the Apple, I got the worm.

She took the Lexus; left me an old bike.
She took the Fitbit, and I took a hike.

I got the manager's special processed cheese food.
