lyrics

The Way It Is

Let me tell you something 'bout the way it is
Expect you deserve it's a hit or miss
I never had it my way since I was a kid
wanted to be a rock star wanted to fit in

You can put the needle back in your vein
I ain't gonna be the one to take the blame
Who's gonna stay when there's nothing to gain?
But a bullshit life in an empty lane?

(chorus) You may wonder why
Sights are set so high
because you're slipping out back like a refugee
knowing everybody's gonna want a piece of your heart.

Talk is cheap
if you can buy the time.
You got a ticket in your pocket
I hope the world don't eat you alive
You say I'm under your skin
but that's how it's got to be.
No matter where you go
you're gonna have to think of me

(chorus)

about

Dan Frechette California

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏
