lyrics

On the sidewalks, they walk around
All the same faces facing down
In all I've seen,
Nothing tells your story quite the way
You do every day with that frown.

Photographs of families:
Mom, Dad, puppy dogs, Christmas trees.
A smile is less a lie than frozen memories
So smile wide and say "Cheese."

We have the same familiar face
Have I seen you on TV someplace?
We're all cartoons: an artificial race
And we cannot be erased.

Had it made when he paid for a sheepskin
Half came away as those who came in
He thought he blazed a trail,
Then found it's been there from day one
Now that it's done, life begins.

Pipe dream of pulling $80K
With one little girl and one on the way
The man behind the desk said,
"Sell your dreams away.
Come back then and have a nice day."

We have the same familiar name
Chess pieces in the others' game
You're all cartoons with no one else to blame
When you become all the same.

They'll recall all the things you've done
Not where you stay, but places you've gone
Don't forsake the gift that is
Your time to be alive!
We have arrived to have fun.

We have the same DNA
Looking for a place to play
We're all cartoons, and that's the way I'll stay
Even when we're old and gray.

The Atlanta five-piece draws from their members’ vastly varied résumés in classic rock, jazz-funk, acoustic pop, metal, and electronic to offer a cohesive style uniquely Bodega. ... more
