Across the room it was the girls night out Asked me for Alanis Morissette And I thought they were applauding But they
Were just packing down their cigarettes So I went for something easy Played a song that everybody likes to hum And I thought they all were singing til I realized
They were only chewing gum It's like the gods have spoken "
So you are making this your trade?
Would you like to be listened to Or would you rather be paid?" They
Were applauding they were cheering They were hanging on each syllable I said Or so I thought until I saw the football game On TV just above my head "
Well you get to
Drink for free," they said.
I don't think they'll ever get the joke I have tried but I could never swallow Fifty dollars worth of Diet Coke It's like the gods have spoken "
So you are making this your trade?
Would you like to be listened to Or would you
Rather be paid?" Im only drinking soda I didn't come here to get laid It's nice to be listened to But either way I still get paid (for singing) It's not been an evening It's not complete until I've heard Several lewd suggestions And someone loudly
Hollering. "
Freebird" You think thatâ's funny?
Go ahead and say it One day you'll regret it Because ill actually play it The long, long version im gonna play it really slow… And with only one guitar I ll have to sing the solo La la la la...
I've done my
Duty I came I saw I sang I played It would be nice to be listened to But either way I still get paid
