What About Me?
From the work FAWM 2025
<<<Previous Song Next Song>>>
Composer: Roger D. Linder
What about me?
I was once your best friend
With you ‘til the very end
Now you treat me
Like a nobody
What about me?
It was I who started it
Without me you wouldn’t get
Anywhere at all
You will likely fall
Everything you touch
Will come crashing down
Think it’s a bit much?
I think you’re the clown
They will turn on you
Just you wait and see
Don’t think that is true?
My advice is free
What about them?
They can’t even speak aloud
You see them as weak and cowed
But they are the backbone
Think about what you’ve done
What about them?
You won’t let them speak their mind
Now forever left behind
Cast away like trash
Burned up into ash

Ooh, now I want to hear the rest of the opera! Love the way the song pivots from "What about me?" to "What about them?" around the verse that starts "They will turn on you" -- that's some A+ songsmithery right there! Great stuff!
