Well this sound is so old.
You could never sound like one of those boys.
You can tune your guitar any way that you like,
But its just hiding behind that noise.
Your songs are all so slow
A little bounce should get you where its at.
You can write what you want to write,
This is only my opinion.
Your songs are making you weak,
You should try some power chords.
Its only my opinion,
But its what you asked me for.
What's with all the minor chords?
Are you really so down, or is it just in style?
All the songs about the one who got away,
What do you think she'd have to say?
Your songs are making you weak,
You should try some power chords.
Its only my opinion,
But its what you asked me for.
Give it some blood, you'll make it real.
Maybe then you can look me in the eyes.
Use those metaphors lightly boys,
Cause this is rock and roll.
Its just rock and roll.
Your songs are making you weak,
You should try some power chords.
Its only my opinion,
But its what you asked me for.
