Welp, there's a new track!

I've been meaning to write a song about Equestria not quite being the Utopia some people perceive it to be for quite a long time, but for some reason, only did it now. And I guess I could have develloped MUCH more on that subject, but bleh. I'm pretty happy with what I did, anyway.

So, for the musical analysis. I felt like I hadn't written complex enough music, as of now - my most complex song so far was Lucky Mare - and though I'd write some weird and complicated stuff.
Now, it's not Gentle Giant, but there's some stuff I'm pretty happy with - the 7/4 riff that makes no sense in term of scales, the guitar solo, the whole tone scales in the bridge...
The musical influence, for the general sound, has got to be pretty obvious, especially seeing some of the stuff I've done already.

Also, yes, that Cannibal: The Musical reference has got absolutely no reason to be there.

If you can hear it, it's been written, played and/or sung by me.

LYRICS:

The family remains proud
Keeps working at the farm
Never ever seeing the bits
From all the lands they've plowed

When big brother became sick,
And he couldn't work for shit,
It almost killed good ol' AJ
Just to keep the farm working

Then her friends come along,
With no knowledge of the art
And they do a better job than the
Farmers would ever have

Sounds like a good story,
But when you're proud of being the best
It's not that great to see you'll never do
As well as your friends

(Chorus)
They call it Equestrian life
They call it Equestrian life
They call it Equestrian life,
I call it Equestrian lie

Cider season starts today,
Everypony's waiting to pay,
Their alcoholic needs will be fullfilled
What a shpadoinkle day

Two strangers come to town
With more liquid and less foam
Within hours of their arrival,
The Apples have got no home

You'd think there were laws about this,
In a world of cute ponies,
But the painful truth is that they're
Really just a bunch of selfish dicks

(Chorus)

The ultimate idolized land, because people can only see
A colourful world populated by cute pastel ponies
But if some kind of portal to Equestria there was
I'd probably end up telling you to shove it up your ass

Zecora would have been a friendly neighbor,
Had she been given a chance
But everypony in Ponyville was quick
To judge her at first glance

And she's just a zebra, so she's not so
Different from a pony
If you had been the one there
What do you think they would have seen?

(Chorus)
