- Write Your Own Songs LyricsYou call us heathens with zero respect for the law
We are only songwriters just writing our songs and that's
all
We write what we live and we live what we write is that
wrong
If you think it is Mr. Music Executive
Why don't you write your own songs
Chorus
And don't listen to mine,they might run you crazy
They might make you dwell on your feelings a moment too
long
We're making you rich and you're already lazy
So just lay on your ass and get richer or write your own
songs
Mr. Purified Country don't you know what the whole things
about
Is your head up your ass so far that you can't pull it
out
The world's getting smaller and everyone in it belongs
And if you can't see that Mr. Purified Country
Why don't you just write your own songs
Chorus.
So just lay on your ass and get richer or write your own
songs
We are only songwriters just writing our songs and that's
all
We write what we live and we live what we write is that
wrong
If you think it is Mr. Music Executive
Why don't you write your own songs
Chorus
And don't listen to mine,they might run you crazy
They might make you dwell on your feelings a moment too
long
We're making you rich and you're already lazy
songs
Mr. Purified Country don't you know what the whole things
about
Is your head up your ass so far that you can't pull it
out
The world's getting smaller and everyone in it belongs
And if you can't see that Mr. Purified Country
Why don't you just write your own songs
Chorus.
So just lay on your ass and get richer or write your own
songs
