And we’re back.

Actually we never went away, but aside from our day jobs eating into our studio time, we also ended up with a new laptop, which means we went from GarageBand 6 to GarageBand 10. And it had evidently evolved to the point of being unrecognizable, so it took awhile to figure out how to use it properly.

I don’t know if we succeeded on that score, but we do now have this song based on an obscure Internet meme we’d like to play for you.

Go like this.

LYRICS


Give Us Money (We Are Pretty)

Standing in the station
Holding up placards 
Making introductions

Bored and beautiful 
No need for small talk
Just follow the instructions

Keeping it simple
Six little words
Don’t need no conjunctions

They got the looks 
They got the taffeta
They got the gumption

BRIDGE

Pretty people got all the money
Yr just holding it until they need it
So you might as well hand it over
What’s the matter buddy, can’t you read?

CHORUS

Give us money, we are pretty x 4

Is it the First World?
Is it the Third World?
Is it a prank?

Is it performance art?
Is it political?
Is it something you drank?

It doesn’t matter
Just give them something 
They can put in the bank

Simple transaction
Just hand them yr cash 
They won’t even say thanks

BRIDGE 

Album cover waiting to happen
Real or fake, it’s nothing new
If you want the pretty, you gotta pay
and that says less about them than it does about you

CHORUS

Give us money, we are pretty x 8

Truth is beauty
Beauty is power
Power is truth

Up in yr face
Like twin soothsayers
Saying the sooth

Beauty adds value
In a society
Obsessed with youth

They know the deal 
And they got yr money 
So there goes yr proof

BRIDGE 

Album cover waiting to happen
It’s just the truth fresh-frozen for two
They hold the cards and they hold the power 
How much you give them is up to you

CHORUS

Give us money, we are pretty x 12
