This song was also inspired by a title challenge at Song Fight (www.songfight.org). When composing, I was of a mind to try and leave space in the arrangement, and to be more deliberate about how the instruments did their jobs together. The result is this workmanlike, sardonic number.
Just To Be Difficult
You got the medicine
But you don't want to take it
You just can't live with something someone was right about
You're learning to depend
On all the things you hated
Can't stop until you made it something to fight about
It makes no sense to me
That you'd go looking for it
Should just ignore it but you've got to be difficult
Why do you choose to be
So full of pain and malice
Contention uber alles - just to be difficult
You got what you want
You got your proud position
You got your fool to listen to you while you prattle about
All the things you don't
Believe you got to live with
Well it's another thing I think I can live without
(chorus) (solo) (Chorus)
This song, like all the others on the new album, can be heard on the music player to the right.
