How It Should Be (Sha Sha)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I was a movie star, an asteroid had hit the earth and prematurely ended my career.
I thought out loud, but no one heard me saying:
"Nothing isn't nothing, nothing's something that's important to me. That's right
And everyone's a little nothing, that's ok, that's how it should be
That's right, that's right (sha sha, sha doo)
When I was an astronaut, I bought a fancy charm
I thought you liked it but you called it cheap and at my feet it fell like:
So sue me, it's up to me if I decide to be what I think is right
And don't bother me when I'm watching 'planet of the apes' on t.v.
That's right, that's how it should be (sha sha, sha doo)
So sue me, it's up to me if I decide to be what I think is right
The sound, it found the ground and it hid it for free
That's right, that's how it should be (sha sha, sha doo)
