Intro

 So I took my guitar

 And I threw down some chords

 And some words I could sing without shame

 And I soon had a song

 I played it around

 For some friends but they all said the same

 They said music's for fools

 You should go back to school

 The future is prisms and math

 So I did what they said

 Now my children are fed

 'Cause they pay me to do what I'm asked

(For this next set get more intense and strum harder as in the song)

 I forgot all my songs

 The words now are wrong

 And I burned my guitar in a rage

(get softer)

 But the fire came to rest

 In your white velvet breast

 So somehow I just know that it's safe.
