The Year Is
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.
I see the lightning almost every day
I've stopped pretending its a bird of prey
my little brother's got a strange disease
he gives a name to everything he sees
ABC, Do re MI, KKK, NAACP
USA, DOA, NYC, RIP
We heard the thunder on your daddy's farm
your momma said it was a fire alarm
the neighbors heard it and they started to run
we were deciding what to name our son
lets call that son of a bitch
ABC, Do re MI, KKK, NAACP
USA, DOA, NYC, RIP
The years is…(shout out any year that comes into your head, its all the dark
