Redundant - Cephalic Carnage

Today I’ll start a zine, my views will change the scene

Everything that I write, will surely change their minds

First I will make them laugh, and make them want to read

My reviews are excellent, interviews are in-depth!

Pictures are glossy, and a list of shows

Now I have to sell some ads, so I can make some cash

Production run is now complete, first issue is out

Now I will spread the word, to gain praise of the hard work I have done

Copies are moving fast, issue one is sold out!

Promos are piling in, labels want to advertise

Go to shows to promote

Everyday life is getting better, with a shot of beer

Hanging out with the bands I love to hear

On the phone with label reps, boy this life is the best!

Working harder, more hours everyday

Magazine is improving in every way

Punctuation is now complete, vocabulary expanded

They love the new me

A few years go by, and still I write

This magazine consumes my life

Always looking for the next big thing

The scene kind of suck.

Life is all the same

But still I try to satisfy the readers who subscribe!

Every hour dissipates from me

My computer keeps freezing up!

Deadlines suck, contributors take forever

Another metal fest, there’s never anywhere to sit!

Dealing with accountants about bounced checks

Or being bribed for a good review

If I speak my mind you won’t like what I’ve got to say

Same old job, same old house

My life is redundant
