Listen To The Band
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.
Hey, hey, mercy woman plays a song and no one listens
I need help I'm falling again
Play the drum a little louder
Tell me I can live without her
If I only listen to the band
Listen to the band
Weren't they good, they made me happy
I think I can make it alone
Oh, mercy woman plays a song and no one listens
I need help I'm falling again
Play the drum a little bit louder
Tell them they can live without her
If they only listen to the band
Listen to the band
Now weren't they good, they made me happy
I think I can make it alone
Oh, woman plays a song and no one listens
I need help I'm falling again
C'mon, play the drums just a little bit louder
Tell us we can live without her
Now that we have listened to the band
Listen to the band
