Had some fun when we were young,
Went to school, played some hoops.
Rock band in the basement,
Smoked a lot of doobs.
The band was pretty bad,
But we didn't know it.
Aw we had big dreams,
Thought we couldn't blow it.
No one came, no one came.
We played our hearts out
And no one came.
They say it's the road to fortune and fame.
No one came.
Weren't old enough to drink,
Could barely drive a car.
Yeah, we booked our first live gig,
At a local bar.
Mixing board and light show,
Bouncer at the door.
A forty minute set of songs,
And two ten minute encores.
No one came, no one came.
We played our hearts out,
And no one came.
They say it's the road to fortune and fame.
No one came.
Thanked the fans who didn't come out,
On a night as cold as this.
For not filling the hall,
Missing the show they couldn't miss.
Yeah we played our second set,
Really brought the house down.
Thank goodness that it happened,
When no one was around.
No one came, no one came.
We played our hearts out
And no one came.
They say it's the road to fortune and fame.
No one came.
I never will forget,
What I learned that day.
In this life you're playing to no one,
So play it your own way,
Yeah, play it your own way,
So play it your own way ...
Aww man, I wish you would have played this as a comedy instead of a tragedy! As it stands, this one is a bit too depressing for me!
