Opening Act (The Shooby Dooby Song)

Well, I know it isn't me that the people came to see

But don't feel bad

'Cause we're the opening act and yes, the place is packed

And so I'm glad

'Cause it wasn't long ago I wasn't offered a show

Of any kind

So now I try and say, "Yes," even if it's not the best

For me, that's fine

Why are you treatin' me like a stranger?

Why are you punishin' me with your love?

Why are you runnin' from me like I was danger?

Is my music not good enough?

Well, I can't be afraid of mistakes I've made

Or ones I ain't made yet

'Cause I already know to fail is to grow

And that's the thanks you get

Sometimes I wake up and think I had enough

Like I lost a bet

Now, the music is free and you can't blame me

Blame the internet

Why are you treatin' me like a stranger?

Why are you punishin' me with your love?

Why are you runnin' from me like I was danger?

Is my music not good enough?

There's no company card, there's no passin' the bar

There's no end in sight

And I know it ain't wrong if some half-written song

Keeps me up at night

If I open my mouth and nothin' comes out

I won't be reduced

'Cause I always remember to pull out my Fender

And just let her loose

Why are you treatin' me like a stranger?

Why are you punishin' me with your love?

Why are you runnin' from me like I was danger?

Is my music not good enough?
