Grateful Renter
by @danxduran
NSFWLiner Notes
This one was inspired by a real dumbass comment made by our dumbass prime minister who said renters would be "grateful" that he was giving landlords a $2 billion-plus tax break.
I had the title and the intro guitar picking sitting around since I think May last year? Finally got around to turning it into a full song.
Sorry the guitars or something are out of tune in the chorus, such is the nature of FAWM that sometimes happens... and I wasn't feeling good vocally this morning, so that's a bit off too. The ideas are there, anyway.
I wasn't in a good mood when I wrote the words...
Guitar: Danelectro '59 through Orange Crush amp Synth: LUCEifer, ARP Odyssey Bass: Kontakt Rickenbacker Drums: SD3 Fields of Rock
Lyrics
i'm a grateful renter, blood of the economy on a spiteful bender, burning down the house you bleed
oh my god, he's serious - but it's just a song oh my god delirious - what did we do wrong?
i'm a grateful renter, heart of everything you need but a hard defender of the right to kill your greed
oh my god, he's serious - but it's just a song oh my god delirious - what did we do wrong?
where did you go wrong, you ask? ever look into a mirror?
where did you go wrong, you ask? no one's natural born a killer
if your lifeline is dependent on misery fuck you if your prosperity's evil, go fuck yourself fuck you
oh, i am done with subtlety, yeah
i'm a grateful renter, i don't want autonomy lucky i have never had a cash epiphany
oh my god, he's serious - but it's just a song oh my god delirious - what did we do wrong?
i'm a grateful renter, heart of everything you need but a hard defender of the right to kill your greed
oh my god, he's serious - but it's just a song oh my god delirious - what did we do wrong?
where did you go wrong, you ask? ever look into a mirror?
where did you go wrong, you ask? no one's natural born a killer
if your lifeline is dependent on misery fuck you if your prosperity's evil, go fuck yourself fuck you
if your lifeline is dependent on misery i'm done with subtlety

Fantastic track! As much as I can't stand politics, it makes some great songs!

This is badass. Awesome guitar work, and the vocal effects sound super cool. The chord progression in the pre-chorus is unexpected in a good way. Really like all of this.

Yeah, sometimes you need just to drop the occasional f-bomb. Once more a fantastic tune, I love the dynamics that the breaks create and the riff at the end is pretty catchy.
