Laura Shay This Crazy Scene lyrics

I walk the streets of my city
and I'm so dismayed when I realize how shitty things are
Little boys yelling cat calls from their mommy's cars
and all the rest are getting drunk down at the corner bars

Chorus
What happened to, “Hello, how are you?”
Where did it go, I really don't know
Am I the only one who can see
I need to quit this crazy scene
I need to go and live my dream

I walk the streets of my city
and I see the girls at the clubs shaking what they can
and, yes of course, all the men pay attention to them
and here I am, just a girl with her piano singing

Chorus


Well I'm not pretty, and I'm not commercial
but at least I live what I sing about
and that's more than I can say for you in your halter top
with pretty pop songs, and your dancers, and your bodily enhancers
Oh what has this world come to
I hope I never turn out like you

I walk the streets of my city
and I see the man on the corner searching for some bus fare
people disregard his presence, but they know damn well he's there
and I cry, oh I cry 'cause life can be so unfair

Chorus
