Won't Be Your Tool
This is for all of those who feel under the thumb of an oppressing relationship.

“Won’t Be Your Tool”
Words & Music by Tom Tognaci
I used to be your tool
Your puppet on a string
Like a dummy on a stool
You’d say it all without me saying a thing
It’s the same old worn out act
With the same old one punch line
And when you say, you’ve got my back
Well, that’s the joke ’cause the dummy has no spine
But this time, I play the straight man to the joke
I won’t be your….
I won’t be your fool any more
I won’t be your….
I won’t be your tool any more
You use me like a tool
A prop up on your stage
Just a wide eyed, smiling fool
And when the curtains close, I’m all alone backstage
But this time, I’ll be the first one out the door
I won’t be your….
I won’t be your fool any more
I won’t be your….
I won’t be your tool any more
I used to be your tool
Your brand-new shiny thing

Hi B... Thanks for stopping by! Just to be compared to Steely Dan is very generous of you. Are you referencing "What A Fool Would Say"?
Thanks, Muskie.... The first verses, hu? I was / am most proud of that second verse. Especially for me, I thought that was pretty good.
Anyways, thanks for listening and commenting.

No, the song is called dirty work.

Oh yeah... one of their better songs. And one of my favorites of theirs.

Packs an emotional punch
Like the double meaning of "dummy" there in v1.
I love that I can hear your guitar style in these too.
Good stuff Tom!

Hi Rainy, and thanks. I'm not using a whole lot of "prompt magic" with my covers anymore... Only some of the Halloween music I have.
