Brandy Clark - Soap Opera lyrics

Ain't we all the stars Ain't we all the stars Playing the leading part In our own soap opera Sherry shampooed 'til she got her own chair Now she's playing shrink to every head of hair A mani or a pedi or color or a cut 8 hours a day, it's the same old stuff They got trouble with their ex and his next wife Sands through the hourgla**, days of our lives Ain't we all the stars Ain't we all the stars Playing the leading part In a day time drama Young and restless hearts Duckin' and throwing darts Yeah we're all big stars In our own soap opera Jimmy wipes down the bar, makes a mean martini They tip it on back and give him the skinny Shaken or stirred or a bottle or a draft They're bearing their souls to bottom of the gla** They got trouble with their girl and their girlfriend's mama This one life to live got a whole lotta drama Ain't we all the stars Ain't we all the stars Playing the leading part In a day time drama Young and restless hearts Duckin' and throwing darts Yeah we're all big stars In our own soap opera Yeah, yeah This town might be little bitty But just ask Sherry or Jimmy If Hollywood was handing out Emmys We'd all be saying gimme, gimme, gimme
