Look What They've Done To My Song

I was never a fan of Miley Cyrus' music until she started a little project called "Backyard Sessions". These acoustic sessions showed another side of Miley - just her, a mic and her band in her back yard. Not to mention the intense song she's singing.

She's so raw in this video. At first, I thought she wrote this song but then later realized that its been around for quite some time.

Check out Melanie Safka's performance of the song back in the day.

The lyrics of this song are so profound.

Look what they've done to my song, Ma
Look what they've done to my song
Well it's the only thing I could do half right
And it's turning out all wrong, Ma
Look what they've done to my song

Look what they've done to my brain, Ma
Look what they've done to my brain
Well they picked it like a chicken bone
And I think I'm half insane, Ma
Look what they've done to my song

I wish I could find a good book to live in
Wish I could find a good book
Well, if I could find a real good book
I'd never have to come out and look at
What they've done to my song

But maybe it'll all be all right, Ma
Maybe it'll all be OK
Well, if the people are buying tears
I'll be rich some day, Ma
Look what they've done to my song
