lyrics

As I sat and wrote my opera, minutes turned to days
but I knew when it was finished they'd all be amazed
must have cost a pretty penny to produce in such a way
and its meaning and its subtext ensured it will forever play

And it doesn't really matter what the critics say
as long as people rant and rave
they sing my songs and they dance in the street
until they themselves are paved

As I sat and wrote my opera weeks turned into years
but I knew that my melodies would move them all to tears
I'll hire only the finest singers who can bring my words to life
and musicians who can shear through hearts just like a knife
