Chuck Coleman - Brian Played Guitar lyrics

Brian played guitar

He wasn't very good

That was his charm

And he swore he'd be an indie god by 23

Now he's 25 and living on long island

And I called him up to finally do some catching up

And that's when he said to me

Listen carefully

I was just a kid and

Money makes the world spin

And if they tell you different then they're lying or they're poor

Good luck with your tour

Lauren sang for us

She didn't have a head voice but who does

And her plans were set to be a Broadway triple threat

Then she met some guy at Brown who turned her world upside down

Now they're married with a kid

I can barely believe it

The other day she said to me

Listen carefully

I was just a kid and

Family makes the world spin

And if they tell you different then they're lying or they're gay

Good luck in L.A.

John does people's income tax

Jesse works for Goldman Sachs

David's at a desk all day doing what he can't quite say

Half my friends will spend their lives bored as hell from 9 to 5

If nothing comes from writing songs, that could be me in not too long

Now I'm freakin' out

I can't answer the phone I might find out

That someone else I know is throwing in the towel too

Minivans and Christmas trees are smiling smugly beckoning to me

It's all that I can do to turn my glance away from you and tell the people that I knew

To listen carefully

Maybe you forgotten

That music makes the world spin

And if they tell you different then ignore the things they say

Get up on stage and play!
