NOTES

$ cat /releases/trigger-fingers/notes.txt # how this one came together

wrote the hooks and a few verses on a lunch break — quick notes, the kind that usually get forgotten by evening if you don't do something with them. AI structured them into something that resembled a song. added a loop from my reaper session and let the AI build the track around both. spent the rest of the time fixing what came back — audio cleanup, mastering, the parts i'm still trying to get better at. one of the rare ones that didn't fight back.

01 Trigger Fingers
Bang bang, playground, everybody duck down
Click clack, toy town, bodies in the lost-and-found
Bang bang, sing loud, sirens in the background
Kids with guns just playin' around

Bang bang, playground, everybody duck down
Click clack, toy town, bodies in the lost-and-found
Bang bang, sing loud, sirens in the background
Kids with guns just playin' around

Johnny found a rifle in his daddy's old shed
Pointed at the sandbox, shot the teddy bear dead
Lucy's got a pistol, thinks it's just pretend
Poppin' soda bottles like it's never gonna end
Tommy's got a shotgun, bigger than his chest
Uses it for hopscotch, says he's just the best
Nobody's safe when recess begins
It's dodgeball rules, but you lose some limbs

Bang bang, playground, everybody duck down
Click clack, toy town, bodies in the lost-and-found
Bang bang, sing loud, sirens in the background
Kids with guns just playin' around

Bang bang, playground, everybody duck down
Click clack, toy town, bodies in the lost-and-found
Bang bang, sing loud, sirens in the background
Kids with guns just playin' around

Hide-and-seek turns into seek-and-destroy
Hopscotch lines marked in blood and joy
Mary's got grenades in her Hello Kitty bag
Trading Pokémon cards for a body bag tag
Teachers in the staff room prayin' for peace
But Billy brought a rocket launcher straight from the streets
Lesson of the day? Don't mess with toys
When they're made for men and not for boys

Bang the drum, click the clip
Tiny fingers on a deadly grip
It's a joke, it's a laugh, it's a brutal game
But the punchline lands and it's never the same

Bang bang, playground, everybody duck down
Click clack, toy town, bodies in the lost-and-found
Bang bang, sing loud, sirens in the background
Kids with guns just playin' around
