Knowing Is Half The Battle

H O O K: https://suno.com/s/ljvM857mmPKK8Tvx [Intro: E major, 150 BPM... drums alone two bars, melodic bass enters, chorused guitars layer in one by one, synth strings last, then spoken announcer over the groove, bone dry] Saturday morning. Zero eight hundred hours. The following program is brought to you... by dairy, grain, corn... and corn syrup subsidies. [Main Hook: E major... synth string melody over E B C#m A, degrees 1 5 6m 4, driving eighth-note bass, shimmering guitars, euphoric] [Verse 1: E major... propulsive groove, breathless yearning vocal, tumbling phrasing] There's a sword that only works if you remember to shout its name There's a moral in the last two minutes, every week the same The villain never dies because he's moving units in the stores And the girl one has different hair... sold separately, of course [Pre-Chorus: E major... guitars pull back to single flanged figure, bass and drums driving, vocal hushed and urgent] Each sold separately Batteries not included Some assembly required Ask your parents first... they'll fold [Chorus: E major... full wall of layered guitars and synth strings, E B C#m A, degrees 1 5 6m 4, answer lines as breathless asides, soaring] And knowing is half the battle (The other half is buying) Knowing is half the battle (Now you know... and now you're loyal) Raise your spoon up to the morning light It's part of this complete breakfast Which means they set it next to toast [Verse 2: E major... main groove, bass melody prominent, vocal wide-eyed and sincere] Eleven servings on the bottom, that's the pyramid of power Drawn up by the Department of the Corn in its finest hour The milk got its own floor because the milk guys bought the floor And the marshmallows are fortified... so legally, they're a vitamin [Chorus: E major... E B C#m A, degrees 1 5 6m 4, soaring, breathless asides] And knowing is half the battle (The other half is buying) Knowing is half the battle [Bridge: E major... guitars drop away, bass and drums and one sparkling keyboard only, spoken dialogue, hero voice bright, kid voice small, groove never stops] "Hey kids! A growing body needs six to eleven servings of grains a day!" "Wow! Who figured that out?" "The people who sell the grains!" "...Now I know!" "And knowing... is half the battle." [Instrumental: E major... synth string melody hook returns doubled by chiming guitar lead, layers rebuilding, euphoric peak] [Verse 3: E major... layers thin, tempo feels heavier, vocal older and quieter] Same old story, a different sponsor, half a life gone by Now that cheerful voice is smiling from the pharmacy supply Side effects may include everything the breakfast set in play It was always more than met the eye... ask your doctor if that's okay [Final Chorus: E major... no key change, biggest wall of sound, E B C#m A, degrees 1 5 6m 4, doubled vocal, voice cracking upward on the last line] And knowing is half the battle (The other half's recurring revenue) Knowing is half the battle (The customer never left... he just aged up) Raise your spoon, then raise your co-pay You were part of this complete breakfast All along... you were the product... [Outro: E major... layers strip away one by one in reverse, bass last to leave, spoken announcer over fading drums, driest delivery] The preceding was a paid advertisement for the preceding.
