Anon, because if this song sucks, you may feel more willing to say so. After all, I may have ulterior motives or something...
The song was written with the full awareness that I'm not above doing some of this stuff myself. Tune is...your favorite 4/4 tune. I find myself singing it to Turkey in the Straw, with a modified 2nd part.
Since my name is legion, feel free to add verses. ------------------------------
The Way The World Should Work By Anon.
Your ideas make me frantic, and I might sound quite pedantic When I intstruct you how to rightly use a word If you use a nasty name, I will quickly end your game By explaining how to conjugate the verb
Chorus: Oh, I'm the one who'll tell you what is right and what is wrong And if you don't agree, you are a jerk It would be a far, far better place if I were put in charge I'm the only one who knows the way the world should work
And now to music let us wander, on my wisdom you may ponder For I am regarded as an expert in the field I don't like the stuff, it's true, but I'll gladly share with you Countless facts my research has revealed
I'll provide applicable citations, from this and many nations And endless variations, by eminent folklorists If you know a song not in a book, I fear you're sadly mistook For if it isn't written, there's no proof that it exists.
And in our long discussions, there will be repercussions If you vary from the topic, and carry it astray For I will strongly object if you stray from the subject And complain for the good part of a day.
If anger is expressed, oh, I will write a manifesto On how all good people should behave And you'll forget the fight you had and call me ignorant and sad And in this way the harmony I save
