Enough for the both of us By: Jim Gandolf

I wrote a song I think it’s kind of funny

“You don’t have to Swear, because I’ll Swear enough for the both of us!” 

“Enough for the both of us”

Let’s pivot to a gritty, alt-rock/punk vibe. This version puts that specific line right at the center of the chorus.

Title: Enough for the Both of Us

Vibe: Fast-paced, heavy 

bassline, slightly sarcastic.

(Verse 1)

I’ll be the one who keeps a level head

I’ll say "excuse me" and "please" instead

I’ll keep my collar crisp and my temper on ice

I’m practiced, polished, and professionally nice

But don’t let the grin give the wrong impression

I’m just the silence before your confession.

(Pre-Chorus)

The world is a mess and the fuse is short

I’m filling out the paperwork, I’m filing the report

But when the ink runs dry and the talk gets cheap

I’ve got a secret weapon that I’m gonna let speak.

(Chorus)

No, I don't need to shout, I don’t need to glare

You don’t have to swear

Because I do enough swearing for the both of us.

Yeah, I’ll hold the door while you burn the house down

I’ll wear the halo, you can wear the crown

I’m staying quiet while you’re making a fuss

'Cause I do enough swearing for the both of us!

(Verse 2)

You’re the high voltage, I’m the steady wire

I’ll fetch the water while you light the fire

When the car breaks down or the boss is a jerk

I’ll just whistle while you go to work

I’ll be the "bless your heart" in a room full of hate

While you tell the universe exactly where to weight.

(Bridge)

(Half-time beat, heavy drums)

One of us is civil.

One of us is sane.

One of us is currently

Explaining things in vain...

But the other one?

The other one is letting it rip.

(Guitar Solo / Chaos Break)

[This is where you drop the heaviest stuff you've got]

(Outro)

Yeah, I’ll keep it clean.

I’ll keep it pristine.

I’m the "yes, sir," and the "no, ma'am"...

And you’re the [—] and the [—] and the [—]!

Yeah, I do enough for the both of us.
