this is so funny :)
BACKGROUND
this is my first song using FM synthesis. in order to avoid the "nails on chalkboard" that a lot of sega genesis music had i applied EQ rolling off the high frequencies on all the synths. hopefully that worked and didn't rob the song of too much brightness. i'm starting to get a headache from working on this so maybe i wasn't aggressive enough, lolz.
Tempo: 152 BPM
Key: C major
Time Signature: 4/4 (swing feel)
LYRICS
verse
i know i must not be nervous
people can really tell
oh, i wish they would go away
to hell
well... maybe... somewhere pleasanter than hell
that would just be swell
i know people will pass their judgments
i can make judgments too
oh, i think you all belong in a zoo
well, maybe... somewhere nicer than the zoo
would that do for you?
chorus
try as i might
nothing seems to overcome this fright
try as i might
all that's in my head is fight or flight
hide in the night
run away from everything that's right
lord, give me sight
to see my enemies before they strike
verse
i know what you're probably thinking
i could really use some help
know that i think the same of you
i know i'm not the only one who feels this way
maybe you feel it too
maybe we all belong in a zoo
chorus
