Title Guide to the Talkies (Explicit) - Charlie Burg

Lyrics by：Charlie Burg

Composed by：Charlie Burg

Start at eight

See what you know

What have you been through make a list

Now scrap the page

Forget what you wrote

Writing ain't supposed to be easier no

You've read the news

And none of that worked

To help you make art you don't hate

But someone whispered

The big screen is cool

So let's kill the blues at the talkies today

We'll hit the cinema as violence abounds

And Joker the clown spoils the day

On my phone there's a photograph or a minute long clip

I opt against work to watch this

So here you sit in darkness locked in

Your art may be richer but your brain turned to s**t

I tried the news and it made me feel sick

The Joker took armistice and blew it to bits

I once heard it said that a man and his heart

Could change if you listened more than spoke

But now I'm afraid that my listening days

Will end when the credits do roll

Don't be alarmed if the chaos on screen

Begins to resemble the world as it be

You've come this far and now you should see

The uncanny parallels 'tween the talkies and me
