Show People (Acoustic)

歌詞

Step up kid, sign your name right here There's pride to take in being a volunteer It's not gonna be easy, but we're all of us equal If you give it your all you can be show people Can you stand on your head? Can you land on a dime? Can you find a thousand different ways to say the same line? Can you show a crowded room the good and the evil? Do the same when it's empty? You can be show people Can you sleep where you're sitting, make a pillow from your shoes Fix an engine with duct tape, use a string for a fuse? Can you fly like Icarus, land like Evel Knievel? We'll show you how it's done we are show people They called us travelling players, fools and troubadours We did turns for the king, and they still called us whores Sometimes we've been icons, in the plague years illegal But we believed in our craft, because we are show people And I know you've didn't want the hand you were dealt Let me guess that you were scorned just for being yourself And you knew in your heart that you had something to say And you were willing to work at it, through the nights and through the days On the skills you knew you'd need to say exactly what you mean They weren't perfect when you started, but you were hungry and you were lean To be the truest version of yourself, pass through the eye of the needle Step right up, show 'em what you got Don't worry, kid, you're gonna show people Six nights a week, you're gonna show people Some day, I promise, you're gonna show people With a matinee on Saturdays, you're gonna show people You'll probably be disappointed, you'll often be broke But in airports and at parties, you're gonna smell your own You're more likely to be John Otway than the Beatles But Otway's still on tour. Hats off to the show people
