I can't make the performance that weekend but I'll send a drone.

Is "You won't be living on the base. There are no barracks on the base" good lyric writing?

[@benman1577]

Better than “the grey jeep is driving too fast”

[@biancacastafiore8760]

did you expect it to be in verse?

[@paules3437]

@@biancacastafiore8760 The use of rhyme in lyrics is a complex aesthetic choice. Usually, using what's called an "Identity" (the same word, like in "There's a bright golden haze on the meadow....") needs justification for not being a rhyme. Maybe this music was not meant to be rhymed.

Here's a meticulously-crafted improvement: "You can't live on the base cos all your base are belong to us."

This looks totally unwatchable.

[@JWP452]

Not another one of these.......

[@Ace168Ace]

It’s so deeply unfair that she can’t pilot a fighter plane while pregnant
