Hilch gave me this idea for this song. I won't say what its about because I'm curious as to what people will get out of it.
The magician is put on the spot
On display for all to see
Dazzles the crowd with card tricks
Performs infront of inbred hicks
The crowd runs the show
Makes the wizard's esteem low
When The show won't go their way
The clowns come out and play
They want issues gone in a puff of smoke
If not, the magician will saw in half
The show bombs and the crowd throws a fit
Can't blind with flash so baffle with bullshit
The crowd runs the show
Makes the wizard's esteem low
When The show won't go their way
The clowns come out and play
The magician is put on the spot
On display for all to see
Dazzles the crowd with card tricks
Performs infront of inbred hicks
The crowd runs the show
Makes the wizard's esteem low
When The show won't go their way
The clowns come out and play
Put on the spot
Put on the spot
Put on the spot.......
LMAO
You even found room for the line I mentioned :lol: :lol:
You have so many other brilliant lines in there as well ,
Performs infront of inbred hicks
Can't blind with flash so baffle with BS
Excellent I think , and my guess what its' about would be what we have been talking about for the past couple of weeks ...
Or even bosses ..
Good writting , I'm thinking very much umm like 70's rock I know that maybe a little old style but I think I could hear the Sweet singing this ..

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
Hi OWA
Lots of fun here, more so because even though you undoubtedly wrote it with a single idea in mind, folks can (and will) read almost anything they want to in it. Politicians, bosses (as Trevor mentions), even forum moderators or generals... :wink: Having just recently been at a town meeting, it's not surprising I found it very fitting to that situation as well.
Only suggestions concern the chorus:
The crowd runs the show
Makes the wizard's esteem low
When The show won't go their way
The clowns come out and play
The second line reads a bit awkwardly. I can't imagine how one might sing it without it being a bit garbled. But, that depends on the music and melody and I've heard lots of lines here on SSG come across great when set to music.
The "their" in the third line also is a tad confusing. I'm assuming it refers to "the crowd" but it's not completely clear on that regard.
Looking forward to hearing the music to this. And to reading more of your material.
Peace
Hi OWA,
for me the song embodies the whole political gambit, from election to pressure to military intervention (the clowns), nice piece of writing.
David,
I'm assuming it refers to "the crowd" but it's not completely clear on that regard.
my thoughts are that "their" refers to the circus (politicians)
heres my take on a similar assignment 2 years (OMG it was that long) ago
