   Exactly the kind of thing that wrecks on

   Several days ago I offered up some song spoof lyrics   
   to alt.music.beatles, which I thought were somewhat   
   fun/clever.   
      
   And while other discussions continued, that thread I   
   injected the lyrics into went dead silent.   
      
   WHAT DOES THAT SILENCE MEAN/INDICATE?!?!??!!?   
      
   Were the lyrics craps?   
      
   Were they somehow off topic? I know for a fact they   
   weren't, because I'd said something about Lennon being   
   resurrected that a couple other people enjoyed, which   
   is what led me to spoof on the song "Revolution" with   
   "Resurrection".   
      
   Did I violate some newsgroup protocol I'm unaware of?   
      
   I'm on the fence between "the lyrics were crap" and "the   
   readers weren't bright enough to get it".   
      
   See for yourself, and please have an honest opinion:

   "Resurrection": a gdbeatles spoof on The Beatles'   
   "Revolution":   
   ------------------------------------------------------   
   you say you want a resurrection   
   well, you know   
   we all wanna cheat on death   
      
   you tell me that it's fresh perception   
   well, you know   
   we all want another breath   
      
   but when you talk about taxation   
   don't you know that I can write it off?   
      
   don't you know I cannot be   
   finite   
   finite   
   finite   
      
   you say you got a Paul affection   
   well, you know   
   how I'd love to see him panned   
      
   you ask me if it's retribution   
   well, you know   
   I'm as tired as nowhere man   
      
   but if you pay money for music that doesn't rate   
   all I can tell you is, traitor, you've sealed your fate   
      
   don't you know I cannot be   
   finite   
   finite   
   finite

   you say you miss my dissolution   
   well, you know   
   I got tired of being dead   
      
   you tell me there's no absolution   
   well, you know   
   you better give some peace instead   
      
   but if you go raggin' on music by yoko, now   
   you just might convince me to leave here again somehow   
      
   don't you know I cannot be   
   finite   
   finite   
   finite   
      
   finite, finite   
   finite, finite   
   finite, finite   
   finite, finite   
   finite, finite   
   finite, finite   
   finite, finite!
