lyrics

this is the greatest song that has ever been made
it has really good lyrics and a really cool guitar
it took me fifteen minutes to write and record it
i know you're very impressed
and you wish it was your song

well buddy, i've got a deal for you
please give me all your money and let me hang out with your mom
in exchange you can have this song on your itunes account

i show up at seven sharp, ready to hang with your mom
and your dad answers the door and says he's the only one home
i said, "that's the next best thing"
we stayed up really late
he let me drink one whole beer
and he tucked me into your bed
he read me a bedtime story
told me he's proud of me
and right before i passed out, he got really serious

and he said, "i've got a deal for you, please kill my son and take his place in my house."
i said, "ok, dad. whatever you say - i'll do anything for you."

everyone's dad wishes that i was their son
as of right now, i have one billion dads
they all come to my baseball games
and they cheer when i swing my bat at the ball
they don't care if i hit, hit the ball or not

we're proud of you son, we're proud of you son, we're proud of you son!
you're so athletic, you're so athletic, you're so athletic!
you're a natural, you're a natural, you're a natural!
hey
hey
hey
hey, keep your eye on the ball!
that's my boy!
me too!
keep your head held high, keep your head held high, keep your head held high!
it's ok buddy, try again!
rome wasn't built in a day, rome wasn't built in a day, rome wasn't built in a day!

thank you, dads
all one billion of you
i don't care that i had to kill one billion of your sons to earn your love
i'd do it again, gladly

ya know? this is a really cool guitar right here
and those were some really good lyrics
it's safe to say that this is the greatest song ever made
if you don't think so, heh, just ask your dad

Pleasantries Chicago, Illinois

Although they claim to be entirely human, Pleasantries’s music is at times as dark as Satan or as lovely as a chorus of angels. Animated videos, boundless guitar shredding, and an effortless fusion of indie rock, symphonic instrumentals, and synthwave grooves meet influences like Jack Stauber, Bill Wurtz and Tally Hall. ... more
