Not Required to Complain

Skirmish: Required (@atornberg)
There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

You are required to do a lot of things, you are required to read this now you clicked on it and have finished reading this sentence. (At least one part of this statement is a lie)

Lyrics

We are required to speak
The thoughts up in our heads
If we ever want anyone but us to hear them instead

The world is unfair again, it’s always being said
It’s not required to complain
But to complain requires you to keep doing the same

Say, why should we pay money to exist?
We never got that far when we didn’t do it
It’s not you who’d do it, it’s them, of course it is

The world is unfair again, it’s always being said
It’s not required to complain
But to complain requires you to keep doing the same

To write a song for people who might enjoy it
Requires knowledge of the people who might enjoy it
But if you end each line the same how could we enjoy it?

The world is unfair again, it’s always being said
It’s not required to complain
But to complain requires you to keep doing the same

Really well crafted and powerful thought provoking reminder about civil discourse! Great perspective, effective repetition.

Ah yes the requirements of civilized society such as it is. A deep-thought-provoking lyric.

This is good and I've just been saying we're the only that pays to exist. Nice skirmish!
