This Has Gone Far Too Long
Crafting Sounds Amidst Critic's Howl
Lyrics
Loiterers just talk you down
Loiterers criticize and belittle you.
While we're here crafting our sounds
The speaker and others are diligently creating music.
They throw your tapes out in the trash
Critics dismiss your music by discarding your tapes.
While their output is abash
The critics' own work is subpar and lacks quality.
You can't play the drums for shit
You lack skill in playing the drums.
You could never write a hit
You have never written a successful or popular song.
This has gone for far too long
The situation of criticism and negativity has persisted for too long.
The neighbors are calling the police
Neighbors are complaining and involving the police due to the disturbance.
Would you please just get off my back
A plea to stop criticizing and bothering the speaker.
What did I do to deserve such an attack
Questioning the reason for the unjustified attack and criticism.
I go to my friends' shows
The speaker attends their friends' music performances.
There's always a fool acting like a hoe
At these shows, there's always someone behaving inappropriately.
Giving their valuable opinion
People offer their opinions, which are not always constructive.
Causing a scene at the pavilion
These opinions cause disturbances or conflicts at the venue.
You can't engineer for shit
You lack skill in audio engineering.
You would never be a fit
You would not be a good fit for certain roles or situations.
This has gone for far too long
Reiterating that the negative situation has gone on for too long.
The neighbors are calling the police
Neighbors are still bothered, and the police are being called again.
Would you please just get off our backs
A plea to stop bothering the collective group involved.
What did we do to deserve such an attack
Questioning the justification for the continued attack and criticism.
