I. Am. The. Ant. Agon. Ist

A song about being a novelist.

I. Am. The. Ant. Agon. Ist

A little ditty I whipped up in response to Dave Reed ‘s challenge that we, as novelist’s are the antagonist’s of the heroes in our story. Just don’t ask what an invisible phere gorilla is. We don’t talk about that anymore. Say it with me: I. Am. The. Ant. Agon. Ist! (Lyrics by me, Reggae beats by the machines of Suno.com)

[intro]
I
Am
Say it wit’ me
I am
Yes, I am
I am the
ANT, AGOH, NIST
ANT, ANT, AGOH, NIST
See me coming out the mist
I am the antagonist.

[verse]
I’m cruel, I’m a sadist
I’m a serial anarchist
I’m your invisible phere gorilla
Throw boomerangs out the corna’
of your eye, you can’t catch ‘em
My heroes dreams I be crashin’
Dishin’ out those complications
rampin’ up that thrill sensation
At the turning point I gonna make you choose
You reach a crisis: Want cake? Nah, can’t eat it too
Show me what your made of with your climax action
If the choice ain’t hard then there’s no satisfaction
I’m here to give you resolution
Take your risks, expect no absolution
Some people just call me a novelist
but to you, HELLO! I am the antagonist.

[chorus]
ANT, AGOH, NIST
ANT, ANT, AGOH, NIST
I. AM. THE. ANT. AGOH. NIST
See me coming out the mist
I AM THE ANTAGONIST

[outro]
Gonna give you such a hard time
Gonna make you walk the hard line
It’s my job to make you better
Gotta make you show character
Don’t blame me, I hope you get the gist
I’m here to be your antagonist
(ANT, AGOH, NIST, ANT, ANT, AGOH, NIST)
(I AM THE ANTAGONIST)
