The Message

One Trick Pony--Reidmoto 

[Prelude]]
Knowledge is power
Knowledge is power
Wanna paint my songs
Like Van Gogh's flowers

Knowledge is freedom
Knowledge is freedom
Want more chord choices
And know how to lead 'em

Knowledge is power
Knowledge is power
Wanna paint my songs
Like Van Gogh's flowers

Knowledge is freedom
Knowledge is freedom
Want more chord choices
And know how to lead 'em

[Verse 1]
Every time I write a song
I try to be original
But in the end
They always sound so typical

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm writing this in Mixolydian
Trying something new

[Chorus]
I feel like a one-trick pony
My songs all sound the same
I write one four five
Lay down a groove
And wonder what's my very next move

[Verse 2]
I'm reading a book
Theory for Dummie
The author keeps urging us all
He says it's never too late

[Pre-Chorus]
Even the mummies could learn 
how to write terrific tomb songs

[Chorus]
I'm studying hard
To grow my palate
Like a chef who knows garlic
But nothing 'bout shallots

Tired of being stuck and ignant
Got my big boy pants on
No longer an infant

[Bridge]
What I need is free for the taking
Devoting my time
What a difference it's making!

[Chorus]
I won't be a one-trick pony
Where my songs all sound the same
Writing one four five
Laying down grooves
Without a clue of what I can do

[Verse 4]
I'm breaking the rules
Writing this chorus
My songwriter friends
This is all for us

When we finish a song
And we nail the truth
We can pave this place
It's why we do what we do

I think I'll buy the Beato  book
The money back guarantee is a powerful hook
His YouTube channels like my second home
Rick Beato is music theories' Al Capone

[Chorus]
I'm no longer a one-trick pony
Got to do more of my thing
Thank you for listening
My songwriter cronies

I'm working on a song so I gotta leave

How Long Do I Have to Wait for You?
