I know this is a Joni Mitchell song, but I did my Parody to the CC version. Let it be said that I LOVE CC (this is a great cover, BTW). But I am sick of everybody and their dog covering a song and nohing new!
They paid the author,
to put up a poor cover.
with a nasty bass boot,
you get that no.1 spot.
Don't it always seem to go?
that no one writes their own songs no more?
they paid the author
to put up a poor cover...
they took all the greats,
and put them in a record bin.
and charged the hacks a dollar and a half
to sing them.
no no no.
Don't it always seem to go?
that no one writes their own songs no more?
they paid the author
to put up a poor cover...
hey writer, writer, put away your thinking cap!
don't care about no new songs,
just leave me to redo the olds, please!
