Intro

  Get up and play the fool,

  The audience won’t bring him down----

  That’s right, you do what you do,

  While no one else is around

  These people, are my people, watch how we roll

  don’t mess ‘em up, they’re young, life’s only just begun

  And for the record we were messed up, on our own

He takes the fakes and puts them in their place

  And he swiftly moves along,

  And he’s known around these parts as a

  breaker of social season hearts

  Yeah I’ve spoke and yeah we get along

  God, I could fall for a man, who can sing about,

  love and depression among other things,

  A man who sings about romance

  Woman he hardly kno-o-ows,

  What good does it bring, this is the life that he cho-o-ose…

I don’t get happy people, why do they care?

They cant be happy all the time, they’re really just not there

And they’re all loved up on some drug and I

hope that it’s not love because I like ’em messed up and not really

there.

And I like them them roughed up, a little fucked up, if it can be

arranged,

As high as a kite and is willing to fight as a man of his age.

God I could fall for a man, who can sing about love and depression among

other things,

A man who sings about romance

Woman he hardly kno-o-ows,

What good does it bring, this is the life that he cho-o-ose…

A man who sings about romance

Woman he hardly knows kno-ows,

What good does it bring, this is the life that he chose-o-ose…

These people, are my people, watch how we roll

don’t mess ‘em up, they’re young, life’s only just begun

And for the record we were messed up, on our own

He takes the fakes and puts them in their place

And he swiftly moves along

And he’s known around

He’s passed his break of social season hearts

Yeah I’ve spoke and yeah we get along

Man I could fall for a man, who sings about, love and depression among

other things,

And a man who sings about romance

Woman he hardly kno-o-ows,

What good does it bring, this is the woman he cho-o-ose
