Two Sides of an Argument

LyricsShow lyrics

Schadenfreude
Words and Music by John Kloberdanz

Jesus said I should forgive
And always turn the other cheek
Love my neighbor as myself
The earth’s inherited by the meek
Bad things happen to everyone
There’s no difference, rich or poor
Today I’m feeling happy
Because, finally, thankfully,
You were thrown face-first out the door

Once you were my boss, those days are dead and gone
Acted like you were the king, and the rest of us your pawns
They packed up all your things, you’re on a permanent vacation
Now both of us are drinking, but for me it’s a celebration

No more timeshares
No country club
This is the real world
And you’re now a schlub

You drove me crazy
You were so lazy
Now you’re dirt
And I’m glad you hurt

Talked down to me in meetings, and made me feel like shit
Took credit for my work without even understanding it
Promotions, raises, bonuses, you thought it was your due
You got careless with the facts, and it all caught up with you

Gold-digger wife
Spoiled-rotten kids
It’s crashing down
You’re on the skids

You drove me crazy
You were so lazy
Now you’re dirt
And I’m glad you hurt

I know I should feel guilty for this happy mood I feel
Delighting in your pain, the truth has been revealed
You’d order surf and turf at places that were nice
Now you’ll be taking handouts, dining on beans and rice

No warning signs
You felt alright
You woke up fine
Unemployed tonight

You drove me crazy
You were so lazy
Now you’re dirt
And I’m glad you hurt

You’re a failure!

A good change of tempo for you here. The song for the most part works well but the musical motif of the main part of the song (after the intro) isn't compelling enough to justify the length, especially considering that it's quite a quick song, I'm ready for it to end by the time the solo is over. Also, I'm not really getting the two sides of the argument thing in the lyrics.
