"Other People's Bands" lyrics

"Other People's Bands"

Happiness comes and goes for everyone
You're not special
Of the violins, the sound of the smallest one
If you're not careful

I heard you told a friend
"You shouldn't play in other people's bands"
Well, then?

Compliments have been raining down on your roof
If you just stopped to listen
The credit given, and credit was due
Still, I never heard you once say thank you

I heard you told a friend
"You shouldn't play in other people's bands"
Well, then?

The whole world has been holding the door for you
The whole world has been holding the door
If you don't wanna walk through it

Scenery, living the dream
A house in the woods and a beautiful wife
Seems to me you'd pick up the phone
Are you too busy working on your silent treatment?

I heard you told a friend
"You shouldn't play in other people's bands"
Well, then?

I heard you told a friend
"You shouldn't play in other people's bands"
Well, then?
Well, then?
