Death of a Salesman

So I took my guitar
And I threw down some chords
And some words I could sing without shameAnd I soon had a song
I played it around
For some friends but they all said the sameThey said music's for fools
You should go back to school
The future is prisms and mathSo I did what they said
Now my children are fed
'Cause they pay me to do what I'm askedI forgot all my songs
The words now are wrong
And I burned my guitar in a rageBut the fire came to rest
In your white velvet breast
So somehow I just know that it's safe
