Stage Songtext
von Johnny Mainstream

We′re all dead on stage
No one wants to see a folk rock band
Where the singer can't see straight
We all got it wrong
No one wants to be your friend
When you sing about them in your songs
No one wants to be your friend
When you sing about them in your songs

You′ve never been in love (You've never been in love)
But you've seen it on TV (But you′ve seen it on TV)
And you can make a killing by pretending on LP

The crowd is getting large (The crowd is getting large)
They′re looking at you strange (They're looking at you strange)
And everybody′s staring at you
Expecting you to change


We're all dead on stage
No one wants to see a folk rock band
Where the singer can′t see straight
We all got it wrong
No one wants to be your friend
When you sing about them in your songs
No one wants to be your friend
When you sing about them in your songs

You don't know what they want (You don′t know what they want)
You don't know what they've heard (You don′t know what they′ve heard)
You've got a lot to say but you only know a couple words

The crowd is getting large (The crowd is getting large)
They′re looking at you strange (They're looking at you strange)
And everybody′s staring at you
Assuming you're to blame
And you are

We′re all dead on stage
No one wants to see a folk rock band
Where the singer can't see straight
We all got it wrong
No one wants to be your friend
When you sing about them in your songs
No one wants to be your friend
When you sing about them in your songs


You can do what you want
And say what you please
Just don't say something
If I won′t agree
You can be what you want
But don′t bring that on me
Just don't be someone
I don′t want you to be
