New Song and Video: Dumb

I bought a new video camera. I wrote a new song. Therefore:



Click here to stream or download the mp3. (If you want to actually download the mp3 rather than just stream it, click on the link and when the player opens, right click [control-click for apple] on the player and "save as...")

If you are curious, the talking in the background is from the movie "Waking Life." I was watching it while recording the guitar/vocals. It seems like a bad idea in most recording situations to have a movie on in the background, so I'm not sure why I didn't turn it off. It ended up adding something to the song, though, so I guess that's why.

Here are the lyrics:

Dumb

I wanna be famous
I wanna go on tour
I wanna write the songs that everyone sings

I wanna be blameless
I wanna be pure
I wanna find a nice pretty girl and give her a ring

But I'm just dumb
I'm selfish and cruel
I learned all of my lessons but I'm still in school
I'd stop being so foolish if I wasn't a fool

I wanna be lonely
I wanna be rich
I wanna scratch for every itch

I wanna have power
I wanna have praise
I wanna little bit more than a 25 cent raise

But I'm just dumb
I'm selfish and cruel
I learned all of my lessons but I'm still in school
I'd stop being so foolish if I wasn't a fool

Circling around and around and around, etc.
Turning around and around and around, etc.
Spinning around and around and around, etc.

But I'm just dumb
I'm selfish and cruel
I learned all of my lessons but I'm still in school
I'd stop being so foolish if I wasn't a fool
