Subject: RE: Songwriting 101 (part2)
Yep... I wrote the song while out for a walk, just to catch a breather from my Father talking about how to do things...

"I do it this way, 'cause it's the way I do it
And I've been doin' it this way for fifty years
And there's a comfort in knowing the way to do it
And it saves your brain from all that wear and tear

Chorus previously posted

The unexamined life is not worth living
At least that's what I hear the wise men say
But I'm too busy keeping things in order
And there's never enough hours in the day

There's another verse kicking around somewhere... the song came in about ten minutes and it's just a silly little song.
