Song 5: What Other People Do (Day 9)

I was grinding away with the music on this one all morning to little avail. Took a break and jumped in the shower and - bam - the line came out of nowhere. All the pieces then seemed to fall into place. I'm not going to give any explanations or make any excuses for this one - I like it.

I have a half-baked bridge for it but I'm missing a chord... out of town for the next few days but hopefully I can share it later.



What Other People Do

Don't speak with your mouth full,
Not like other people do.
Don't speak until you're spoken to,
That's what other people do.
Walk away and don't fight back,
That's what other people do.
Don't go astray, stay on track,
Just like other people do.

Try to let go,
Don't do what you're told.
Only you know,
How it should unfold,
If you want to do,
What other people do.

You don't dance to the music,
Not like other people do.
Don't take a chance and be romantic,
That's what other people do.
Stay safe and don't go wild,
That's what other people do.
Get married, have a child,
Just like other people do.

Don't judge, don't think,
Don't listen, don't drink,
Don't drive, don't stare,
Don't apologize, don't care.
