The Cheese Stands Alone – Echolyn – letras

I’ve been Banana’d, Cabaret’d, stuffed in a truck for daysLeathered out, flannel’d in, paid to play, thought we’d winThe talent show that would break the bandWrote the words that hit the fanFlogged and prog’d, revival’d to deathReleased and reviewed and signed with the best!Leave me out, I’ve had my fillStand on my own, I’ve been through it allI’ve been AOR’d, alternadised, heavy-metal’d, acousticisedPickled to an amber hue and never lied to me or youTo get ahead or create a vibe, for sympathy to romanticizeHow hard it is to rock ‘n rollTo be a pawn or gain controlIt seems that lately we’ve become quite the targetDodging verbal traffic, oh the fun of itOur job is now writing, performing, and enduringAnd I’d have to be lying if I denied loving it (shake it down)I love it, I eat it, I starve it then I feed itIt spins my head and moves my toesYou can smell the beat it tickles my noseIt fills my gut and gets my goatIt sinks my ship and floats my boatDon’t let it take you out too farOr change the you, you really areStep up and see the bandPlay favorites from one night standsA resume of four golden yearsWhen the cheese stood aloneSo heigh-ho the dairy-oI’m tickled pink and don’t you knowTo love the things we plant and growIs a treasure hard to findLooking back my credit was never shakyI may have burned a few bridges here and thereLooking back I’ve seen the serpent and his offerThe weasel in his hole, the leech on the woundThe sly old cat wants the ratThe rat he aims to pleaseBut back and forth they never seeThe cheese stands aloneSo heigh-ho the dairy-oI’m tickled pink and don’t you knowTo love the things we plant and growIs a treasure hard to findLooking back I can’t help but look forwardThere’s so much life, there’s so much moreEveryone has so much to offerYou’re crazy to ignore it, you’re crazy not to try
