Cut Number 7 Lyrics - Frickin' A - Frickin' A

I wrote a song that everyone loved 

With an acoustic guitar and a rhyming Thesaurus 

And I found an angle that no one had thought of 

The story wrapped in an undeniable chorus 

And everyone fell in love with that song 

It must be the way that the melody 

Marries the lyrics, someone should hear this 

Cut one is the song 

I booked a few gigs at every regional bar 

And sold thousands of copies from the trunk of my car 

An underground journalist said it was hot 

And it could really take off, if track 2 got a shot 

He wrote I fell in love with that song 

It must be the way that the melody 

Marries the lyrics, someone should hear this 

Cut two is the song 

I landed a deal, they loved my CD 

A&R was excited about track number 3 

But said the snare was too loud, guitar too distorted 

Lets get a big named producer and just re-record it 

'Cause we all believe that is the song 

It must be the way that the melody 

Marries the lyric, the public should hear it 

Cut 3 is the song 

The producer had never heard demos this great 

And there was just something special about 5, 6 and 8 

The record execs said the research was in 

They had made up their mind, theyre now goin' with track 10 

'Cause everyone fell in love with that song 

We couldnt believe they were serious 

They had to be jokin, no the public had spoken 

Cut 10 is the one 

So the marketing geniuses, developed a plan 

To spend lots of money and package the band 

Hit the road in a bus, the show started to gel 

But we couldnt recoup with no records to sell 

But the fans fell in love with the songs 

They said where can we find the CD? 

We just downloaded 3 

Free on Kazaa 

And radio said 

If a song had potential then 

Cut 4 surely had it 

But nobody had the balls to add it 

So the record came out and it sat on the shelf 

There was no need to talk about songs 9 through 12 

After the whole thing was over and done 

The public still talked about song number 1 

Everyone fell in love with that song 

It must be the way that the melody 

Marries the lyrics but no one would hear it 

They all fell in love with that song 

Yeah, I may have written 

The greatest most passionate song 

No ones ever heard 

We should have just covered 'Freebird'
