Rut 5

Sittin On The Couch (lyrics by Cameron Pinegar)

People love to walk around
And engage in lots of fun

I just like to sit around
You may call me lazy bum

People like to go to town
Buy from all the stores

I just log onto ebay
So my feet don't get no sores


You may call me a lazy bum
B-U-M bum bum
I'm just doing my own thing
0-1-0-0-0-1
That's Binary Code for "Don't Judge Me"
I'm happy on the couch
I don't bug no one, Here in my den
I get by just being a slouch


People play all kinds of sports
Horse shoes, tennis, golf

I just play fantasy league
Against a German guy named Rolph

People love to leave their house
Breathe in some fresh air

I don't care for sunlight much
And I prefer  my underwear

You may call me a lazy bum
B-U-M bum bum
I'm just doing my own thing
0-1-0-0-0-1

That's Binary Code for "Don't Judge Me"
I'm happy on the couch
I don't bug no one, Here in my den
I resemble Oscar the Grouch

This song is a reflection about how I felt during the time I wrote it. I had been sitting on my butt for about six hours, working on homework and mainly getting distracted by random things online. When I realized how pathetic I was I wrote a song about how pathetic I was, but I wrote it from the perspective of trying to defend how my pathetic actions are not pathetic because it's who I am... does that make sense? I learned that it's easier to write songs if you write about what you're feeling because I tried to write songs before this and they sucked. (I'm not saying this doesn't suck, but on a relative scale of suck they sucked worse than this.) I also learned that songs don't have rules and depending on what music I put this too it could be a hit or a bomb. Sometimes lyrics aren't that important to the song's value.
