The Parmesans - See For Yourself

lyrics

Hold steady, hold fast
Not all good things last.
Hopes and dreams: Half-hearted,
Friends and lovers only parted.
A simple man has simple needs,
Just a fountain pen and coffee beans.
A friend or three to keep the beat,
An ice-cold drink to beat the heat.
(Because we were the)
First ones up, first ones at 'em
We had priority like Eve and Adam,
But even God don't know, what took them so long.
Guess they had to see for themselves.
You were my sweet, my only one,
I took a ferry to your sugar plum.
Now the dock's gone burning,
Ignited from our turning.
Simple times meet simple ends.
On what grounds now that depends.
Its a mystery for some I'm sure,
Til' they're walking out your door.
('Cause they're the)
First ones up, first ones at 'em,
The first to claim to sing the "Human Anthem"
But even they don't know what's taking so long.
Guess they'll have to see for themselves.
('Cause you're the)
First one up, the first one at 'em.
The first in line but the last to dine,
Even you don't know what's taking so long.
Guess you'll have to see for yourself.

We're a bunch of kids, who get mistaken for adults, making music because its fun. We play some hybrid of folk-punk-bluegrass and whatever other music we've listened to recently.
Let's play a show together.
