The Song Fight Bulletin Board

Some lyrics since my vocals probably aren't mixed high enough for your liking.

Haven't seen you in seven years;
just wondering how you're doing.
I know you thought you could hide from the past
but the past's always improving.

I know you were hurt by your daddy
way back when he was always moving.
I know it hurts to be a loser in life
when you always wanted to win.

I know that I've made mistakes
and I'm coming out with a film that outlines them,
and maybe if you attend
you'll find that I'm sorry.

And I'm the director of
this influential film yeah this influential film
that will reach thousands of people but the
only person that I care if it ever reaches
is you.

Haven't seen you since college years
way back when I was your best friend.
I know that I've hidden from the past
and my life right now is pretend.

I know that I took the life that
you should have had for yourself.
There isn't a day when I don't regret what I've done
but how can I repay you when I never ever see you?

I know that I've made mistakes
and I'm coming out with a film that outlines them,
and maybe if you attend
you'll find that I'm sorry.

And I'm the director of
this influential film yeah this influential film
that will reach thousands of people but the
only person that I care if it ever reaches
is you.

break ...

I know that I've made mistakes
and I'm coming out with a film that outlines them,
and maybe if you attend
you'll find that I'm sorry.

And I'm the director of
this influential film yeah this influential film
that will reach thousands of people but the
only person that I care if it ever reaches
is you.

You're a paragon of your genre
That's why I want to get on ya, see?
I want to re-enact
That last one from Pasolini. In fact
Even after the censors,
you left
The killing floor intact.

You blew my mind
The first time i saw you, I find
All my pals adore you too.
Who knew?
We met in film school
Yeah everybody loves you but
I know the house rule.

You're my favorite influential film, that's right
I could sit back and watch you all night
I'll even bring the popcorn, baby keep my seat warm
All the other lovers will be high dry and forlorn
Not me--I was first in line

I am no follower or deconstruction borrower
I know every scene by heart
And I know all the other ones that didn't get the part
You play
In my dreams at night
If I go enough times, I know I'll get it right
One day
The second burn will pop,
I'll switch your reels that way.
Okay.

You have a distracting mise en scène
But I know I would hit it again
And again, no stopping, film splice popping
And when it's over
The theatre needs mopping.

Yeah, boy I’m back.
Yeah. Yeah. What. What. Yeah.
Keep fuckin’ ‘round wit me now, nigger. I’m back alright now.
What What What, nigger?
Talkin’ ‘bout 50 now.
It’s this movie, “Get Rich or Die Tryin’â€

Those Meddling Kids
A history written by losers
would give us so much more to learn
as we look back on the accumulated mistakes of the past
like we wouldn't make the same
a condescention like we'll be remembered
like that influential film we saw

Akira Kurosawa told a number of great stories you may never hear
He won many awards you've probably never heard of
because you were too busy watching Titanic
but nobody saw Titanic and thought:
"I need to tell a story about ships disintegrating"

Because it's been done better
and it could never change the way we live
Challenge our thoughts, and get in our heads

A history written by losers
There aren't enough pages in books and frames of celluliod
Don't forget Kambei, Don't forget Heihachi
Kikuchiyo, Kyuzo, Sanjuro
They are the ones who lose
Not us with out families and cars and houses
Heroes are just shadows, they are the ones who lose
