Liner Notes

The #skirmish challenge was to make prominent use of one-syllable words. What came out was an ode to perhaps unjustified self-confidence. #acousticonetake

Lyrics

I like to think I’m the boss
I like to think I’m the star
I like to think I’m the main man
Right in the heart
Of where the best things are

I like to think I’m a champ
As if I won the top prize
I plan to take it to the bank
Like a big fat check
While you stand there and roll your eyes

I said what I meant to say
I’ll say what you want to hear
Though I know each word goes
In the right ear and out the left ear
I did what I planned to do
Like corn that’s all set to pop
I moved like the wind,
Like a storm, then I stopped
Where I planned to stop

I like to think I’m so hot
I’m on the top of the fire
The words I live by are
Don’t look down ’til you’re done
When you walk on a wire

I said what I meant to say
I’ll say what you want to hear
Though I know each word goes
In the right ear and out the left ear
I did what I planned to do
Like corn that’s all set to pop
I moved like the wind,
Like a storm, then I stopped
Where I planned to stop
