Jeffrey Lewis - They Always Knew lyrics

Art they made, didn't get paid gig they played, nobody came tape they mailed, test they failed not accepted, drove and wrecked it bad review, photo too got caught up in bad luck heart breaken, mistaken funny lookin', nothing cookin' got sold cheap, then sold cheaper hit rock botom then fell deaper wrote a keeper, lost the tape and even lost the piece of paper empty benches, monkey wrenches common sense sez "leave the trenches" what a life, it ain't right a hopeless fight, no end in sight but- they always knew they'd make it!! dented mics, rented mics he meant, she meant dis - agreements legal ha**less, label battles lyrics choken, strings broken fight they fought, tix they bought flight they flew, show they threw people saw, sound was raw don't forget, now place yr bets would be a tragedy to miss 'em a travesy of the system such devotion, no promotion small fish in a giant ocean saw the gypsy, she was tipsy (crystal ball was full of whiskey) say, should they give it a go, hey? Ball said all signs point to no way! but - they always knew they'd make it!!
