notes

this started out as a joke song but the jokes wore thin and i had to pivot to something a little harder.

love this was a tnt and left my external writing kit at home so had to write the song down using a sharpie and brown nasty mcdondalds paper towels complete with grease stains. felt appropriate though.

Lyrics

[c3] tnt definitely not undercover g c d everyobody thinks i'm a cop makes it hard at parties and what not

they say may clothes too fresh and my hair to neat

that's one thing i'd rather not be

c d g c

why wont no one tell me where they get their drugs why wont no body ever share their plug i've been hanging out in this alley to get high d c g but everybody thinks i'm a cop

standing out in a crowd, wearing my frown trying a little too hard, telling everyone my plan fear and paranoia rule this community half dead corpses, still standing on feet

[bridge] em am em don't they know about entrapment can't they see my fiery eyes at least i wont die of the fentanyl c d g it's hard out on the streets right now

[chorus]

Hate it when no one will share their drugs 🥲 I like the line about firey eyes. This sounds very folksy in an old-timey way, like the town drunk singing outside the general store

Great idea of an interesting misfit perspective. Just a little bit of a sketch of the characters mixed with a few developing scenarios.

this is my favorite of yours so far. it is such a great character study of a person who cant break into the underworld because nobody trusts a stranger. it was common in the sixties for a person to be ostracized by the hip crowd becuse of the possibility that he is an undercover cop. i really like this sympathetic portrait of such an individual.
