Other People


I wish I’d thought of that first,
Maybe I did
But you’ll never know
Guess I just left it lying there
Well see if I care
If I did, would I ever let it go?

Let’s make it up as we go along
Maybe we are
But we’ll never tell
Fake it ‘til we make it with our heads down
Hey, look what I found
Can I toss a good intention
Into a wishing well?

I wanna do what other people do
Go where other people go
They’re all doing that there
And we’re nowhere
Or at least nowhere they’d want to know


We let that one slip by
Yes we did
And we all watched it fly away
I bought a butterfly net
But let’s not take it out it just yet
Maybe the next one will decide to stay


I wanna do what other people do
Go where other people go
They’re all doing that there
And we’re nowhere
Or at least nowhere they’d want to know

Show me these other people
I hear they really know how to get things done
Bring me these other people
I hear they really know how to have fun


I think I know where they’ve been hiding
Over there, underneath the dirty clothes
Looks like it’s laundry day
Get that shit out of the way
How long’s it been?
I don’t even want to know

I wanna do what other people do
Go where other people go
They’re all doing that there
And we’re nowhere
Or at least nowhere they’d want to know
I hear they really know how to get things done
Bring me these other people
I hear they really know how to have fun

about

The American Professionals image

The American Professionals St. Louis, Missouri

St. Louis hook-heavy guitar pop band The American Professionals’ core members Chuck Lindo and Cheryl Hendrickson’s music and personal lives are both intertwined and parallel. This husband/wife team makes that paradox possible on their 2017 release, Sympathetic Overdrive. The record is a genre-hopping display of both unity and individuality, fear and hope, love and scorn. ... more
