|
I downloaded a pretty awesome version of this song live where John sings a slight story about his mother pressuring him into what he's going to do.. and it turns into no such thing it's called every little thing. i'm sure there's a link for that too.. but some people, i'm sure, didn't know that and I thought I'd share it with the world so that way they can go to Every Little Thing She Does' page. .. here's the lyrics:) freshman year momma asked "whatta ya wanna do when you get out of here?" i said "well jean, i'm only 13 but i think i'd like to play my guitar be a star." well she said "thats not it, you got time to go good sense will kick in any time you know i'm not worried i'm not worried" well sophomore year she asked the same old thing my answer had remained unchanged i saw her, fidget with her thumbs she said "you like computers, john, you like computers don't you? yeah, i always see you with a computer, you like computers. maybe you can do something with computers.. yeah, wouldn't that be nice" junior year, it's a little more intense she says, "what do you want to do with your life" "i'm not on the fence, i know exactly what i aim to be and i'm only 17" she said "well, all i ask is that you pay attention in class so if you happen to change your mind in time you can still go somewhere reputable and do us proud" so i went downstairs and i played guitar aloud yeah senior year same old question she said, "what do you wanna do" i said "play my guitar and sing" she said "there's no such thing" she said "there's no such thing" -------------------------- i love you mom -------------------------- "welcome to the real world" she said to me condescendingly "take a seat, take your life plot it out in black and white" well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings and the drama queens I'd like to think the best of me is still hiding up my sleeve they love to tell you "stay inside the lines" oh but something's better on the other side I want to run through the halls of my high school I want to scream at the top of my lungs I just found out there's no such thing as the real world just a lie you've got to rise above so the good boys and girls take the so-called right track faded hats grabbing credits, maybe transfers they listen to fish, but they can't find the answers all of our parents, they're getting older I wonder if they've wished for anything better while in their memories, tiny tragedies they love to tell you "stay inside the lines" but well, something's better on the other side I want to run through the halls of my high school I want to scream at the top of my lungs I just found out there's no such thing as the real world just a lie you've got to rise above I am invincible you are invincible yeah you we am invincible as long as we're alive yeah we're alive do I have to tell you stories of a thousand things since we first met theres a big enough umbrella but it's always me that ends up getting wet I want to run through the halls of my high school I want to scream at the top of my lungs I just found out there's no such thing as the real world just a lie you've got to rise above I just can't wait for my ten year reunion I'm gonna bust down the double doors and when I stand on these tables before you you will know what all this time was for ...thought it was prettty cool and i'd share it with you:) |
