[verse 1: thomas]
I paid my dues and they got me through
Right to the other side
Tarred and feathered never felt any better and
Wanna know what i find
Its the same old sh** just a different day
And im a couple of laps behinds
Inclement weather and distance pleasure
Are all thats left on my mind
[Chorus]
Everybody waited
And nobody came
What a shame what a shame
[verse 2]
Tooth for a tooth, eye for an eye
Cut your nose to spite your face
Went and saw the surgeon, and all he was urging was
You gotta get out of this place
You said the answers, to odd numbered questions
Could be found in the back of the book
I flipped through the pages, as they stuck together
Not knowing you'd look
[Chorus]
Everybody waited
And nobody came
What a shame what a shame
[verse 3]
You said my name wrong
And i corrected you twice
The third times a charm
Weve all got our vice
I can feel your stare
Burning holes in the confidence that i wear
And all the stupid things
Weve ever done in haste
Youd rather use the phone
Than say it to my face
Save me your sorries
They're all just a waste
[Chorus]
Everybody waited
And nobody came
What a shame what a shame
