I'm trying to get out of "lurker" mode, so here's my first track in 2018. Thanks to David Snyder for helping provide the motivation.

As always, comments and critiques welcome!

You're No Damn Good

When I was just a young boy / My Daddy told me, son
If you just put your mind to it / You can be most anyone
From President to CEO / To man up in the moon
Be anything that you might want / But you can't hold a tune

[Chorus]
You're no damn good / You're no damn good
Well I hate to be the one to say it / But you're really no damn good
You're no damn good / You're no damned good
It hurts for me to say it / But you're really no damn good

I said, Pa, don't you be worried / I'll go and make you proud
Become someone important / And stand out from the crowd
I played guitar and practiced hard / And tried to be the best
But the only thing that people said / Was "Please, give it a rest!"

[Chorus]
You're no damn good / You're no damn good
Well we hate to hear you playing, boy / 'Cause you're really no damn good
You're no damn good / You're no damn good
Well we hate it when you're playing / 'Cause you're really no damn good

Well, I know that it's disheartening / Hearing that you suck
Wishing you'd been born / With either talent or some luck
If you're blessed with Tom Wait's vocal cords / Or you can't find Middle C
Here comes the final chorus / You can sing along with me

[Chorus]
No damn good / No damn good
I hear what you are saying / That this sounds like I am braying / But you still won't stop me playing
Even though I'm no damn good

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
