Music Men

As the hot bright sun
Shines down on me
I try and think of a song
A song for me to sing

Sing I do, and Sing I must
Song's of this age!!!
Dont have that certain trust

The certain trust I speak of
Is in all the founders of music
They gave us there word and entertained
Unlike us with talent they used it

But there were no big rewards
And No big money payments
They kept on singing 
As they entertained us

And as music spread 
Throughout the land
Everyone had forgotten
About that beginning  band

Who gave us there talent
And gave us there trust
Now all you see 
Is drughead's on a bus

Times have changed
It's not like before
Kids tripping on acid
Reminds me of the doors

But I shall never forget
The founders of music
They've given me so much
So I will try and use it

And earn there trust
As everyone should
Carry on there name
And carry it good

Loudly sing a song
Just to entertain
To me there's just no use
No use for fame
