new demo: "white kids"

this song was my first attempt at creating a fuller sound for one of my demos. so, i had to deal with more instruments in the mix than i normally have had to in the past. it's hard to say where the inspiration for this song came from. i was feeling particularly down one night and i was by myself. i came up with the simple little guitar progression that you hear throughout the song which is basically a C major chord with the bottom G. i make a little melodic line one the bottom string by going from the G to the E then to the F, keeping the rest of the C major chord intact. then, as i usually do, i came up with the vocal melody which had an almost punk quality where you have a lot of exaggerations on the beginning and end consonents and a lot of ah ah ah's.
what i like most about this song is that it's a departure from what i had written in the past and is kind of a new direction. i'm opening up a little more with my singing and seeing what i can do with my vocals. i'm not an amazing singer in the classical sense, but i feel it helps to make up for it with a little bit of originality. you be the judge i guess. as far as the subject matter, i'll leave that up to interpretation. enjoy "white kids." brian (jivewhiteboy)

white kids from the plains
become white men in the game
grow white hair on their face
throw white fits to get their way

i'm sick and tired of everyone
i'm sick and tired of everyone
guess i'll shoot them down with my gun

white kids live in malls
buy white things to show off
no thought in their brains
revelling in white fame

chorus

white kids from the sand
become white teens in a band
write white songs about grace
become white men who spit in your face
