What About Me?
by @rdlinder
There is no demo for this song.
Liner Notes
Potential song for my existing rock opera
Lyrics
What about me? I was once your best friend With you ‘til the very end Now you treat me Like a nobody
What about me? It was I who started it Without me you wouldn’t get Anywhere at all You will likely fall
Everything you touch Will come crashing down Think it’s a bit much? I think you’re the clown
They will turn on you Just you wait and see Don’t think that is true? My advice is free
What about them? They can’t even speak aloud You see them as weak and cowed But they are the backbone Think about what you’ve done
What about them? You won’t let them speak their mind Now forever left behind Cast away like trash Burned up into ash
Ooh, now I want to hear the rest of the opera! Love the way the song pivots from "What about me?" to "What about them?" around the verse that starts "They will turn on you" -- that's some A+ songsmithery right there! Great stuff!
