FRUSTRATION by Sarah Gillespie

You consider yourself to be cultured
With your music and Eastern cuisine
Claiming that you’re gonna show me
Colours that I’ve never seen
Can’t you see that we’re drowning in flyers?
Can’t you see that we already know?
We don’t want to hear your new album
We don’t want to come to your show

Emotionally you’re obtuse
You get me and my sister confused
You reach for the top
You try hard to show off
And then trip as you grab at the hoop
If only I’d known that you meant
To use the first girl who’d consent
I’ve got one thing to say to you
Vent your frustration
On somebody else

You think you’ve found vocal perfection
But your lyrics don’t mean anything
It would help if you tried not to force it
And if you could actually sing
Creativity comes from the soul
And not from a list in your mind
Photographic doesn’t make good art
Keep singing like that and I’ll break your guitar

You think you’re something of an icon
Ahead of the regular crowd
Lying out cold on the pavement
So tell me who’s popular now
I’m glad that I won’t be the one
To drag you away from the street
You’re not the hero that you say you are
Just a sad parody of the social elite

And it’s not about ability
You’ve got skill but I’ve got dignity
