Life and times of a bonus track
Written on Apr 03, 2004 // Music.So you know how EPs and ’special editions’ of CDs contain all kinds of special versions of songs, limited editions, unreleased stuff… Well, the first single of the new Edguy album (great album btw, nice to see some bands stay true to themselves and not going muy loco *coughsStratovariuscoughs*)is released, an EP for the price of a single actually.
5 tracks plus a video, and track 5 is called ‘Life and times of a bonus track’
#Poor artist went to the label, truckloads of money in mind
Rich artist left the building
Cause all the labels had been standing in line
And so they signed
Artist wrote rock’n roll history
Concentrated on an album so strong
But business claimed limited editions
Insisting on additional songs
That was the time when I had been born
When I first saw the light of day
And even if you’ve got a different opinion
From my point of view - needless to say -
That I’m happy to be
Even if you don’t want me to be
The world wouldn’t go round without me
I’m a bonus track on my way to Japan
And I’m gonna be spread on Internet
I’m a bonus track, to Brazil and back
I’m enjoying worldwide fame
They’ll screw the industry, pay no royalty
Burn me on CD, all illegally
Chinese bootlegs, Russian piracy
Cutthroat Germans they all copy me
And I don’t give a shit, to me it’s all the same
As long as I get all the fame
And the girls know my name
I don’t give a fucking shit, no, I don’t give a shit
Don’t give a fucking shit, no, no…
Not a single little fucking shit
Oh this is it… This is it! It!
I’m a bonus traaaaaaaaaaaaack…#
Ahem, right
