21 Concepts

I wrote a song about a fetus named Cletus who tried

To run for governor before he died

He lived in California but traveled worldwide

It was a big huge hit! Just kidding I lied

There's the song about the 90's, I sampled Ace of Base

But kept it off the album in the interest of taste

"Cheyenne Rock City," a song about touring

But rhymes about Wyoming are really very boring

As for the Churchill song, give me a break!

How many songs about England could my listeners take?

There was a track about women and the drama they bring

"Hot Girls Make Guys Do Really Stupid Things"

Remember "Geeked Out"? You don't but I do,

"The geek shall inherit the Earth," it's true!

I rapped about nerds being cooler than jocks

But if I wanted biased news,

I would have just watched Fox

[CHORUS]

I've got 21 concepts but a hit ain't one

If you're having lyric problems I feel bad for you son

I've got a list of songs here I once thought were the bomb

But when I laid them down in ProTools

They all came out wrong!

"Las Vegas Invasion" was a sci-fi track

About aliens addicted to playing blackjack

I wrote a song about a kid who made his own flick

But got a bad review in Ranger Rick

I didn't want to get lynched or punched in mouth

So I didn't do that song making fun of the South

I did a song about how girls at Stanford are whack

Called "College Is Where Girls Go to Get Fat"

There was the KRS slash Nirvana debut

But the mash-up thing was so 2002

I did an anti-Bush track, and then I did five more

But "Rock Against Bush" was so 2004

I wrote a song about China, how could I go wrong?

I rapped in Cantonese about Mao Zedong

It went um goy, neh ho ma?

Nehih sik ying mun ma?

[CHORUS]

I've got 21 concepts but a hit ain't one

If you're having lyric problems I feel bad for you son

I've got CD-R of tracks I once thought would be tight

But when I played it for my girl I slept alone that night!

Write a song about a can that gets crushed a lot

Write a dental hygiene jam that says, "brush a lot"

Write a Bill O'Reilly track that says "hush" a lot

No I'm not a player I like Rush a lot!

[CHORUS]

I've got 21 concepts but a single ain't one

"If you're still referencing Jay Z I feel bad for you son"

So what's the secret to hip-hop, jazz, blues and rock?

Step one get out a pad and kill your writer's block... start!

I've got 21 concepts but a hit ain't one

If you're having lyric problems I feel bad for you son

I've got a list of songs here I once thought were the bomb

But when I laid them down in ProTools

They all came out wrong!
