I have only ever been 3 things in my life; A soldier, a carpenter, a guitarist... and I have never had any reason to lie.
You left out... Internet troll, ranter, end-times preacher, proclaimer of highly judgmental condemnations, "Christian" who uses excessive profanity, self-proclaimed racist and masterbator.
Too bad for me that such an esteemed and knowledgeable personality such as yourself proclaims that I know nothing about building...because I have to get a foundation built on unfamiliar terrain and then put a house on top of it.
Woe was me. Nonetheless...onward through the fog.
So, you don't know the difference between a basement, footers and blocks, piers, or a slab?
Tell us, Mr Lied... Who has been stupid enough to pay you to build a house? Tell them that I would be glad to provide a second opinion...

Tony Williams,
You're a nut-job internet troll. Why would I share anything like that with you?
As far as knowledge, I can say with certainty that I know more about building a house than some random internet troll that lays around in his underwear, collecting disability, posting all sorts of wacked-out mania and fostering "rants."
Think what you want of me. It's just more crazy layered into the head of an internet troll.
Gonna have to leave you to deal with yourself for a day or two. Have fun.

I could meet you on-site... Teach you a thing or two...
Marty, By the way — appreciated the detour into slab-building. Every good song thread needs a surprise subplot, right? Now, if we’re done with construction class, let’s get back to music.
Songwriters should avoid clichés like "baby" and other overused phrases because they can make a song sound unoriginal and diminish its impact. To create more impactful lyrics, focus on writing with specific, personal details and finding unique ways to express common ideas, rather than defaulting to familiar expressions. Why clichés should be avoided They reduce impact: Clichés can make lyrics sound uninspired and predictable, leading to a less powerful emotional connection with the listener. They are a shortcut: Relying on clichés can be a sign of not doing the creative work needed to find a more unique and authentic way to express an idea. They lead to a lack of originality: Phrases that have been heard countless times, like "lies in your eyes" or "fire/desire," make a song sound like many others that have come before.
All you have to do is turn on the radio to any format and you’ll hear clichés, often the same ones that are in my songs. Those songs are hits, so how can you say that clichés don’t work out there in radioland?
Most of the songs you hear on radio are written by the artists who perform them. In those cases, there are few, if any, gate-keepers who are willing or able to criticize the artist’s songs, particularly once the artist is successful. Also remember that a lyric is not a song is not a record and many artists are signed because they’ve gotten a great sound, a great look and a vocal identity and style that allows an audience to recognize them instantly. If you’re a lyricist, you may hear those cliché lines and disregard the fact that other factors, including a dynamic, engaging melody and groove ideal for the style of the artist contributes to the success of the song, and great arrangement and production contributes to the success of the record. No matter what A&R reps say about the songs being the most important factor, it ain’t necessarily so, though it’s certainly most always true for pop ballads and country
Dom, I have no idea what you’re talking about — it looks like you dumped a random songwriting lecture into my song thread. Please rewind and stick to "Echoes of the Past".

I'm fine to drop slab building as a topic here.
However, this song is a political statement more than a piece of music. So I am happy to return to it as a political statement.

Thanks, Marty. I’m not sure why you mentioned that slab stuff in the first place. Honestly, the tone around here has felt a bit tense lately. I know where you stand, and you know where I stand regarding the lyrics.

Ohhhhhh, how carless of me, this thread has been all about this song.

Lol, and a builder who couldn't sink a nail... WITH A HAMMER AND A FUK'N NAIL!
Hey, Mr Lied, Go fetch my lunch and board stretcher out of my truck...

"The standard by which I now measure the things in my life is the following: If I was on my death bed, or if I knew I had a short time to live, would this issue be important? If the answer is no.. I don't sweat it at all. If the answer is Yes, you better believe it goes to the front of the order of today's business!" -Brian Austin Whitney
