about

The fifth track, "Asshole" was my attempt to write a peppy, rocking tune about... well... an asshole. Maybe someone you know? Maybe not. I wasn't thinking of anyone in particular when writing this one. It was more of an experiment than anything, but I'm very happy with how it turned out. A bit of trivia here... the first line of the song is intentionally similar to my favourite ELO song.

lyrics

Sun is shining, there ain't a cloud in the sky
But all he sees is darkness in front of his eyes
He doesn't pass up the chance to to tell you that you're a cog in the big world machine
He doesn't try to be nice, he's just naturally mean

He goes to work, puts in his hours and goes home
He makes his dinner, and bitches that he's eating alone
But he's been writing this script since he was a young man who could never fit in
He doesn't understand, that it all starts with him

He doesn't want your pity
He doesn't want to be saved
He doesn't want you to love him
You gotta understand that he's an asshole

He hates to read, he doesn't want to learn something new
He likes to talk, and won't aknowledge your point of view
He lives inside his head where everything makes sense and he's smarter than you
He doesn't listen at all, he's immune to the truth

He doesn't want your pity
He doesn't want to be saved
He doesn't want you to love him
You gotta understand that he's an asshole

He's had a hard life, he's been kicked in the teeth
Things havent been easy, in fact they've been pretty bleak
Some people can conquer, and make the best of it all
But he's too stubborn to see the meaning of it all

Another day, another chance to turn it around
But he'll remain on what he thinks is solid ground
He doesn't try to reach out cuz he likes living without instead of living within
He would take you out before he'd let you in

He doesn't want your pity
He doesn't want to be saved
He doesn't want you to love him
You gotta understand..
He doesn't want your opinion
He doesn't want your respect
He doesn't want your forgiveness
You gotta understand that he's an asshole
