The Bourbon Tabernacle Choir - Make 'Em Laugh (Stanley) текст песни

Исполнитель: The Bourbon Tabernacle Choir

альбом: If Hell Had A House Band...


I met this guy named Smith
His first name being Stanley
He had some real big hair
And he thought it made him manly
He went so ahead of his time
He said he would be someone today
Thought he knew so much more
I guess the world wasn't ready for Stanley
Saw a girl the other day
A friend of mine from grade school
All dressed up in furs
Tooling round with some old fool
Getting rich on her back
Was never par of her intention
Jerks gotta a wife and kids
But the drunk has got connections
I see what you're driving at
Your lame excuses are just that
Don't talk to me
Unless you've got a reason
I really am compassionate
But you've shown me nothing yet
That merits empathetic intention
I want to be somebody
You oughta see where I'm at
I oughta be something better
Better than this
Some people they like to talk
It's such an easy way to stop you from thinking
By drinking, watch the show
Jump into the great big boat that's sinking
My self, self truth, selling shit
I'm telling you that I think they're just leaping when they fall
Wear a mask buy a crutch
Make themselves believe too much
Entire lies are predicated on a stall
Don't want to be nobody
Don't want to be nobody
Don't want to be nobody
Don't want to be nobody
I know nobody
Everybody has got the means
To slowly come apart at the seams
I wanna be somebody
