This song was an idea I found in 2021 on a cassette recorded in 1995. I forgot about it for over 30 years and I thought it was interesting because it seems to have inspired a song I would write in 2014 called "Falling In Love For All The Wrong Reasons". Little ideas apparently get filed away in the cabinets of your mind and you draw from them subconsciously in the future.

lyrics

YOU LAZY DEMON

I’m so lazy
I am lazy and stinking’ up home
Lazin’ in my bedroom - watching porn and eating some scones
Yes I know that time’s a wasting I can feel it
Those little gremlins prod my mind
I hear’em sing:

You lazy demon
Have you no shame
You lazy Demon
Champion of the lame
You lazy demon
Why doncha get up and cause some others some pain

I’m still lazy
My ambitions just stuck in a funk
Sweet talking angels feeding me visions arousing my junk
I used to be so nasty and inspired
Brought on the misery that gave you all a reason to fight
I lost my edge - I’m at a stand still
Has something to do with the light
But I still hear those gremlins singing:
Yeah their singing to me:

You lazy demon
Have you no shame
You lazy Demon
Champion of the lame
You lazy demon
Why doncha get up and cause some others some pain
