Sing- The Dresden Dolls

"Sing for the teachers who told you that you couldn't sing"

I got a solo in choir!!!! BAHHHHH! Omg, it has been since senior year of high school since I have had a solo.  I used to be known as "the singer".  I sang in all state choir, got the best scores at solo competitions, got the lead in the school musicals, and got the solos in choir class.......then gave it all up when I got to college.  I kind of gave up on my dreams.  You see, ever since I was a little kid, I always wanted to be a singer.   And then, when I realized that was a hard profession to get into, I gave up.  I really stopped singing.  But, then this year, I realized I was really unhappy without singing.  So, I got back into it.  And look where it got me!!!

I loved this song when I came out.  We found it kinda funny because of the lyrics are a little out there.  But the overall message is just to sing.  I've always found singing to be so therapeutic.

There is this thing that's like touching except you don't touch
Back in the day it just went without saying at all
All the world's history gradually dying of shock
There is this thing it's like talking except you don't talk
You sing
You sing

Sing for the bartender sing for the janitor sing
Sing for the cameras sing for the animals sing
Sing for the children shooting the children sing
Sing for the teachers who told you that you couldn't sing
Just sing

There is thing keeping everyone's lungs and lips locked
It is called fear and it's seeing a great renaissance
After the show you can not sing wherever you want
But for now let's just pretend we're all gonna get bombed
So sing

Sing cause its obvious sing for the astronauts sing
Sing for the president sing for the terrorists sing
Sing for the soccer team sing for the janjuweed sing
Sing for the kid with the phone who refuses to sing
Just sing

Life is no cabaret
We're inviting you anyway

You motherfuckers you'll sing someday

You motherfuckers you'll sing someday

You motherfuckers you'll sing someday
