No Fanfare

I can have a little less

So you can live a little better

You can sit and make a mess

So I can find a way to tidy up

Oh, it's never too late, son

You would never concentrate

On what you did or what you said

Oh, "You can make it, you can make it

You can make it," you just make it up

Well, I never liked it all that much

Well, if you make peace with that

Then you'll be just fine

Saved your life once or twice

Saved your life a thousand times

Fanfare, no fanfare

Hold it tight, all in time

Only trying to make it right

Fanfare, no fanfare

Easy to want but not to get

Easy to lose but not to win

Easy to get but not to give

Easy to die but not to live

I could eat a little less

So you could feel a little better

I'll put on a little weight

So you can find a place to hang it up

But I never liked it all that much

Opinions aren't even a crime

Here is mine, you're a swine

But it's fine, though it's time after time

That I peel back the plastic

Tear down the barriers

Smash through the bleachers

And can't stand the features

Saved your life once or twice

Saved your life a thousand times

Fanfare, no fanfare

Hold it tight, all in time

Only trying to make it right

Fanfare, no fanfare

Day in, day out

It's a sad affair

You just stand there

With no fanfare

Opinions aren't even a crime, here is mine

You're a swine and your spine is too fine of a line to define

And though you're lacking in backbone

A flash in the pan, it is sad

You're all the world is spitting out

Out, out, out

Out, out, out, out

Out, out, out, out

Out, out, out, out

Saved your life once or twice

Saved your life a thousand times

Fanfare, no fanfare

Hold it tight, all in time

Only trying to make it right

Fanfare, no fanfare

Day in, day out

It's a sad affair

You just stand there

With no fanfare
