            Most hip-hop artists seem to do a shoutout song. This is mine. You can buy it on my My()Space page [ myspace(dot)com(slash)tayzonday ] . . . it should also eventually make it onto Apple's Itunes store via tunecore.

Selected Tay Zonday replies:

"People whine on their moral high horse about a 99 cent song. Then they go pay 99 cents for 16 ouces of bottled water from a vending machine when they are thirsty - - which would be $8.00 per gallon if it was gasoline. Somehow the starving artist is the enemy. The corporation isn't. The artist needs the money. The water bottle is gone in an hour. The song is there for a lifetime."

"Honestly, why do people tie ANYTHING about my psychology to the songs I write? My songs have zero to do about my personality or identity. Enjoy the song. Hate the song. But don't make any assumption that the lyrics reflect who I am cause honestly, each song is experimental. The public should love or hate music at face value on the merits of the music . . . and not on some inaccurate fantasies about my psychology. You don't know me."

LYRICS:

"The Only Way"

Attention All People
Tay Zonday has arrived

I'm the piper of record
Beloved and respected
Mack Daddy
Of all of the down and rejected

I'm the talented tenth
The chill in your spine
The glimmer of hope
In the back or your mind

I'm the rising Aquarius
Galaxy patriot
Space is the place
Where I'm ridin' my chariot

Fightin' for lovin'
Fightin' for dance
Fightin' to
Give more people a chance

Ain't coming from the East
Ain't coming from the West
I come from the heart
I come for the best

[Chorus]
Cause the only W-w-w-w-w-way
Is Tay ZonD-d-d-d-d-day
The only W-w-w-w-w-way
Is Tay ZonD-d-d-d-d-day
[Repeat]

I'm the silent majority
No one's priority
Craving deliverance
When they stop ignoring me

Wishing on candles
Praying on stars
'Hating on promises
Licking my scars

None for the people
It's trickle-up cash
Paying more for bottled water
Than I do for gas

To subsidize a system
With oblivious victims
Make me work so hard
That I can't resist 'em

The bread and circus
Makes me desert us
I party away
All the violent urges

Revolution?
I'm watchin my sitcom
 Playin Nintendo
'Til Kingdom Come

Waitin for a leader
To make me believe
There's more to life
Than what they say I can be

I'm aimless dangerous
When I start to learn
That I'm not served by
Next quarter's return

Holdin 'back history
The Jetsons a mystery
Buildin' new electric rail
They had in 1880

If it ran on gas
I'd have a flying car
Human progress?
Gotta look where we are.

We consume for profit
And run in place
Or we build a rocket
To get outta this place

[Chorus]

Little Man
With an alien voice
'Changin the world
By makin' some noise

I'm hydroelectric
Always eclectic
Fighting disease
Cause I'm antiseptic

Staccato Mulatto
Every day a new motto
Made music in my crib
When I ate from a bottle

Ain't wearin any label
Cause I wasn't able
To see myself
In the master's fable

Daddy was from Venus
Mama was from Mars
Don't know about you
My flag is the stars

And it ain't just fifty
More like fifty billion
Cause the rest of the Galaxy
Ain't doin what we doin'

Hatin' each other
Killin' their brother
They sent me here
So we can teach each other

Ain't any excuse
For the privilige I have
Driving SUVs
Building third world debt

But the thing to get
Is the kid who sweat
To make my tee shirt
In Bangladesh

We're both 'bein screwed
We're both 'bein used
I get the bouncing car
She gets no shoes

But neither one of us
Has political power
'Til we come together
And face that hour

[Chorus X 2]

HEheh
Every day is Tay Zonday

We all find the way
With Tay Zonday
