about

Written and recorded between May 15th and June 11th 2022.

lyrics

Don't expect the hearts and flowers
No one seems to care about it anyway
Just another with a problem
And everyone's got something wrong these days

They've really made a fashion of it
And finding ways to rise above it, so they say
Just making light of valid cases
Who never made that bed in which they lay

Do it all for the show
Shout it out so there's no doubt
That everybody knows
Give it all for the show
And wallow in imaginary pity
That's just the way it goes

Keep it up with your invention
Don't let all that good attention slip away
They don't care if they see through it
They just share because they know it pays

So tell them all about the journey
From way on down to better than it was before
Almost like you're pleased it happened
I don't want to hear this anymore

Do it all for the show
Shout it out so there's no doubt
That everybody knows
Give it all for the show
And wallow in imaginary pity
That's just the way it goes

Do it all for the show
Shout it out so there's no doubt
That everybody knows
Give it all for the show
And wallow in imaginary pity
Milk it dry with all the highs and lows
For 15 minutes shine like Walter Mitty
That's just the way it goes
