Error First Script Syntax Error

So, I'm writing my first shell script to try to speed up the process of creating lyric files for mocp and I don't know what the error is, but considering how short the code is, I'm betting it's something super-obvious.
line 7: syntax error near unexpected token `echo'
line 7: ` echo "${song%%*(.mp3)}"'
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#This will create blank lyric files, as used by mocp, for all mp3s in a direcory

files=(ls *.mp3)
for song in $files
 echo "${song%%*(.mp3)}"
 touch "${song%%*(.mp3)}"
done

Audio::MPD::Common::Item::Song(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		       Audio::MPD::Common::Item::Song(3pm)

NAME
Audio::MPD::Common::Item::Song - a song object with some audio tags VERSION
version 1.120881 DESCRIPTION
Audio::MPD::Common::Item::Song is more a placeholder with some attributes. Those attributes are taken from the song tags, so some of them can be empty depending on the file. The constructor should only be called by Audio::MPD::Common::Item's constructor. ATTRIBUTES
album Album of the song. (format code: %d) artist Artist of the song. (format code: %a) albumartist Artist of the album. (format code: %A) composer Song composer. (format code: %C) date Last modification date of the song. (format code: %M) disc Disc number of the album. This is a string to allow tags such as "1/2". (format code: %D) file Path to the song. Only attribute which will always be defined. (format code: %f) genre Genre of the song. (format code: %g) id Id of the song in MPD's database. (format code: %i) last_modified Last time the song was modified. (format code: %m) name Name of the song (for http streams). (format code: %N) performer Song performer. (format code: %P) pos Position of the song in the playlist. (format code: %p) title Title of the song. (format code: %t) track Track number of the song. (format code: %n) time Length of the song in seconds. (format code: %l) METHODS
as_string my $str = $song->as_string( [$format] ); Return a string representing $song. If $format is specified, use it to format the string. Otherwise, the string returned will be: either "album = track = artist = title" or "artist = title" or "title" or "file" (in this order), depending on the existing tags of the song. The last possibility always exist of course, since it's a path. This method is also used to automatically stringify the $song.
