The Deadly Mr. Critic
You Are Correct
You Are Correct
Version 220728a
#VERSE
My name is Mr. Critic
And I never tell lies
Be good and get my praise
But if you suck, I’ll criticize
#PRE-CHORUS
I’m often called a monster
For the toxic words I speak
But, like I said, I tell the truth
No need to worry unless you’re weak
#CHORUS
I’m the one who passes judgment
Forever pessimistic
That’s why the whole world fears my name
The Deadly Mr. Critic
#VERSE
I’ve seen every TV show
All the movies, Broadway plays
Music, novels, art, and poems
I decide what goes or stays
#PRE-CHORUS
I’ll rip apart your passion
Dismember your life’s work
Separate the wheat from chaff
Diagnose you with a smirk
#CHORUS
I’m the one who passes judgment
Forever pessimistic
That’s why the whole world fears my name
The Deadly Mr. Critic
#BRIDGE
I’m the bearer of bad news
But I get a sense of joy
From telling you how bad you lose
Yes, it’s my pleasure to annoy
But I’ll never look you in the eyes
Cause I’m afraid that you might see
That I don’t really hate the world
Nearly as much as I hate me
#INSTRUMENTAL
#PRE-CHORUS
Perhaps one day I’ll soften up
And sugar coat how my brain thinks
But for now I’ll wear dirt-colored glasses
And report that your best effort stinks
#CHORUS
I’m the one who passes judgment
Forever pessimistic
That’s why the whole world fears my name
The Deadly Mr. Critic
