FAWM: "Grateful Renter"

Grateful Renter

NSFW

Liner Notes

This one was inspired by a real dumbass comment made by our dumbass prime minister who said renters would be "grateful" that he was giving landlords a $2 billion-plus tax break.

I had the title and the intro guitar picking sitting around since I think May last year? Finally got around to turning it into a full song.

Sorry the guitars or something are out of tune in the chorus, such is the nature of FAWM that sometimes happens... and I wasn't feeling good vocally this morning, so that's a bit off too. The ideas are there, anyway.

I wasn't in a good mood when I wrote the words...

Guitar: Danelectro '59 through Orange Crush amp
Synth: LUCEifer, ARP Odyssey
Bass: Kontakt Rickenbacker
Drums: SD3 Fields of Rock

Lyrics

i'm a grateful renter, blood of the economy
on a spiteful bender, burning down the house you bleed

oh my god, he's serious - but it's just a song
oh my god delirious - what did we do wrong?

i'm a grateful renter, heart of everything you need
but a hard defender of the right to kill your greed

oh my god, he's serious - but it's just a song
oh my god delirious - what did we do wrong?

where did you go wrong, you ask?
ever look into a mirror?

where did you go wrong, you ask?
no one's natural born a killer

if your lifeline is dependent on misery
fuck you
if your prosperity's evil, go fuck yourself
fuck you

oh, i am done with subtlety, yeah

i'm a grateful renter, i don't want autonomy
lucky i have never had a cash epiphany

oh my god, he's serious - but it's just a song
oh my god delirious - what did we do wrong?

i'm a grateful renter, heart of everything you need
but a hard defender of the right to kill your greed

oh my god, he's serious - but it's just a song
oh my god delirious - what did we do wrong?

where did you go wrong, you ask?
ever look into a mirror?

where did you go wrong, you ask?
no one's natural born a killer

if your lifeline is dependent on misery
fuck you
if your prosperity's evil, go fuck yourself
fuck you

if your lifeline is dependent on misery
i'm done with subtlety

Yeah, sometimes you need just to drop the occasional f-bomb. Once more a fantastic tune, I love the dynamics that the breaks create and the riff at the end is pretty catchy.

Enjoyed this.

Fantastic track! As much as I can't stand politics, it makes some great songs!

This is badass. Awesome guitar work, and the vocal effects sound super cool. The chord progression in the pre-chorus is unexpected in a good way. Really like all of this.
