BUG'S SONG
Matt's challenge: Stone. Cold. Diss. Track.
Title: Dissin' all my Listeners
Lyrics:
Look at you, bet you’re thinking that you’re all that
“lately I’ve been really into indie rock and podcasts”
Chronically online, paying top dollar for broadband
people show you memes, you’re thinkin “I already saw that”

Cool headphones! You’re right to keep it quiet
cuz if I had your music taste I’d also try to hide it
The crew is in the car, nows your chance to make it awkward
the nights already over when its your turn for the Aux Chord

I tried to warn you but I’m done with taking prisoners
You’re in my target demo and I’m dissin’ all my listeners

Hey cool tune, how’d you find it, kid?
Did you pop into a record shop and dig for it?
oh you let an algorithm make a playlist? cool
you and every other zoomer in your local middle school

and hey maybe they’re a talent and they kill it live
oh, their show has the production of an open mic?
we paid 25 bucks and you had to drag me, too
to sit criss-cross and listen in a living room?

Its not hard but I’ll try to make it simpler
you’re in my target demo and I’m dissin all my listeners

I hear you thinking that I’m comin off a bit harsh
a little bit ungrateful to the one that got me this far
should I apologize to all my audience or double down?
this wouldn’t be a diss if I didn’t try to pop your bubble now

You’re terrible! (at making me feel like I’m alone)
You’re Awful! (cuz you drained your data playin’ me on your phone)
You the worst at being critical when feedback’s all I want
You’re mean (I mean you mean the world to me so thanks a lot)

You needed me to knock you off your silly little perch
you spend too damn much on my silly indie merch
You’re enabling a dream, its irresponsible
a grown ass man thinks that anything is possible??

call a cease fire, its all for show
cuz I play until I win like this is rochambeau
and I’m a rocker and your peace sign looks exactly like scissors you’re
gonna get crushed cuz I’m dissin all my listeners

MATT'S SONG
Bug's Challenge: You see that guy in the corner? He seems like a... Lion
Title: We're all Enemies Here
Lyrics:
hey welcome
settle in
i won't ask how you found the place
we were are all blown here by different winds

don't give me your name
don't give me your story
i've seen your face already
that's all that's important

pull up a chair
i'll pour you a drink
and i'll keep my eyes on the door
that's what i do here
i watch your back so you don't have to for a while

don't give me your card
don't give me your money
i've seen your face already
that's all that's important

see that guy in the corner
looks like a lion
he fights for a living
and he fights like he's dying
you wanna have bad time tonight
trying sneaking up behind him
he took a dislike to a friend of mine, now i don't even recognise him

you see that girl over there
no, you didn't
and if anyone ever comes asking
bout a friend or daughter missing
you just shake your head
and send them over my way
i'll make sure that nobody ever comes here asking round again

don't give me that look
like you're your own man
i've seen your face already
that's all that's important

don't get any ideas
we're all enemies here
