Lyrics

Learning to Fly [Write]

When he started out
Wrote for free, I guess
Started out
‘n still loves the press
Now when you ask him if
His jobs you can fill
Then he gets lit up
Gets up in your grill

Try learning to write
It’s the basic thing
You don’t jump right in
As the PTI king

Well the good ol' days
May not return
And the papers fold a
And the old guys yearn

No one’s learning to write, [learning to write]
Blame this internet thing [learning to write]
Ev’rybody wants [learning to write]
Mister Tony’s bling [learning to write]
