Songs with a Message

I'd do it myself

But I have no funds on my shelf

Write fun songs with a message

You don't need to be preachy

Just acknowledge people are uneasy

These students that support you

Their college debt changes life anew

They're told education opens doors

While their tuition goes towards wars

The universities only offer to shape resumes

Beautiful brochures confirm this exciting phase

Famous musicians please

I'd do it myself

But my influence has poor health

Write fun songs with a message

You don't need to be an advocate

Just balance diversions with social wit

It certainly has been done before

But today we may need even more

Stylish songs don't always enrich

Without an idiosyncratic switch

To influence unseen communities

Guide them towards opportunities

I'll be the preachy one

Famous musicians please

Powerful musicians please

I'd do it myself

But my spirit has confined itself

Write fun songs with a message

Holding your stilts are devoted curators

Evolving into digital marketing coordinators

Jobs doomed no permanent trace of existing

Their networking grants nothing greater

Beyond, below, or above glass escalators

Artists can be men and women's mediators

Despite songwriters not known negotiators

There's no compromise in these creators

But the only ones rewarded are impersonators

Of acts playing in thousands of arena acres

With an audience's money they become traitors

Why do you take their money to become traitors?

You let your greed freeze

When you post yourself

Socially concerned from an online shelf

Writing hash-slash-PR-tags with a message

Should your postings agree

With your music made yourself

Is an investment for infinite wealth

If you really desire a blessed pledge
