This song is based upon my one titled "Ban the Bell" which I wrote nearly 6 months ago. I've taken (and altered slightly) the first verse and chorus, then wrote several other blocks to the same structure and on different topics. By "mildly explicit", it has no swearing, but the second area may not he suitable for some people. The four areas are below:
1: Ban the (school) bell
2: End routine circumcision
3: End the use of the weird (P) symbol on CDs
4: Ban photography bans at venues
G G
School children, teenagers
F F
Are forced to go through pain everyday
G G
The schoolyard, the school of fear
F F
Adds to their panicking year on year
G G
A clanging, a pitch of pain
F F
Rings through the land
G G
And the children, of the UK
F F
Are forced out, which takes me to say
F E
I'll fight for decades
D C D E
To see school bells terminated
F E
A child, panic attacks
D C D E
A shiver through their mind
F E
Yet the nanny state
D C D E
Does not deem school bells as a health hazard
F E
And the sufferers
D C D E
Are forced to end their lives
A newborn, a babies eyes
Staring through the ward
Doors fly past, a trolley cart
Strapped in for no cause
A scalpel comes, a scalpel greets
Intact - Gone!
No pleasure there for years to see
And may I say - there was no need
I'll fight for decades
To see routine cuts terminated
A boy, circumcised
Infringement upon his rights
Yet the Septics have
Not realised what damage is done here
And the sufferers
No pleasure for their time
The industry of music
A symbol enlights their songs
Draw a straight line, then a curve
Finish with the circle
We call this a P, for phonogram
But indeed, what is its point?
No special C for other works
A P is not a sign to live by
I'll fight for decades
To see this symbol terminated
A buyer, paralysed
Pressure upon their time
Yet, the industry
Praises its symbol, a good way to tell on
But why no special sign
For books read through our mind?
A venue, a camera
Banished from the audience
No flash allowed, I understand
Please say no to outright bans
Some singers, liberal ones
Tell us that we can
While the C O, N S E
R V A T I V E S ban
I'll fight for decades
To see concert bans terminated
A person, crying by
The side of the road
Kicked out for no good
But letting the band earn huge profits
We, see no reason
For this to happen
The chords are outlined for only the first block, but the same applies for all four.
Which of the four parts (1 verse and its related "chorus") is the best written in terms of lyrics? What do you think of my song so far? Does the style of writing remind you of any other artists or not? If so, who?
