Number Three

Lyrics

There's only two songs in me
 And I just wrote the third
 Don't know where I got the inspiration
 Or how I wrote the words
 Spent my whole life digging up my music's shallow grave
 For the two songs in me and the third one I just made
 A rich man once told me,
 "Hey life's a funny thing"
 A poor man once told me that
 He can't afford to speak
 Now i'm in the middle like a bird without a beak
 Cuz there's just two songs in me
 And I just wrote the third
 Don't know where I got the inspiration
 Or how I wrote the words
 Spent my whole life digging up my music's shallow grave
 For the two songs in me and the third one I just made
 Well I went to the President
 And I asked old whats-his-name
 Has he ever gotten writers block
 Or something like the same
 He just started talking like he was on tv
 "If there's just two songs in ya boy, whaddaya want from me?"
 So i bought myself some denim pants and a silver guitar
 And i politely told the ladies you still have to call me sir
 I have to keep my self respect or i'll never be a star
 cuz there's just two songs in me and this is...
 NUMBER THREEEEEEEEEEEEEE
