Core and Ring
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Listen you don't know
You don't know my mind
When what you thought was the core
Turned out to be the rind
If I need your advice
I will let you know
But listen until then
This is no call in show NO, NO, NO
Cause I tell you a story
Bout what happened today
Nothing profound Just something to say
And you write a description on your notebook pad
For five different ailments
Didn't know I had
Listen you don't know
You don't know my mind
You thought the core was the ring
