about

There's an old general truth: Never piss off a songwriter. Taylor Swift has used this adage to her great benefit. Here's a sensible little ditty with my take on the subject.
A jazz number in Amaj7 with some semi-usable advice.

lyrics

It sure would be unpleasant
A song of all of your misdeeds
And they don't really need a reason
To lay it right out until you bleed

A ballad, blues, or rock opera
Streaming on the latest platforms
Explicit detail and harsh drama
In standard verse and chorus form

CHORUS:
Never piss off a songwriter
Immortal by your own circumstance
You're a victim in A minor seventh
Then they'll do a little happy dance

Never piss off a lyricist
You don't want that controversy
They'll preserve it with a cruel plot twist
And summarize you without mercy

Don't make a playwright angry
Or your full story will be staged
They'll talk about you quite frankly
In the screenplay on every page
