A blast of rockin' sound at you in a poetic, melodic fashion. Thick harmonies. Music/Lyrics/Singing/Playing/Arranging/Recording: Tom O'Brien

About a kid who's secretly into classical music, though he only listens on his ipod, and maintains all the outward affectations of his cool friends.

I have mutton-chop sideburns And am usually alone I wear an old, black, tattered t-shirt With a picture of The Ramones My inked-up arms say stay away You wouldn't like the games I play And you can't love me anyway But in my ear buds I'm blazing Eric Satie Antonin Dvorak And Igor Stravinsky The Rite of Spring Fanfare for the Common Man I'd let you in But you wouldn't understand I ride a Vespa To the local biker bar My badge of honor Is a hesitation scar I drink mojitos till I'm drunk My father says that I'm a punk My battleships have all been sunk (Chorus) And Chopin preludes make me wanna cry The Lark Ascending gets me kinda high And Fur Elise is written in the sky (Chorus) I got a buzz cut 'Cause I didn't like my hair I failed in high school 'Cause I didn't really care And no girls will be friends with me 'Cause they only judge what they can see They don't know I wrote a symphony (Chorus) x
