Typical Story Songtext
von Hobo Johnson

Issa issa issa
Typical story, where the bassist kills the singer
The guitarist and the drummer find they′re in love with each other

It's the story of the kid who clearly
Won′t know what to say
When the love of his life starts to calmly walk away

And it's the story of the dad
Who decides to chase his dream
He quits his job, he falls apart
And he loses everything

And it's the story of the kid who
Who just wants to make a record
Loves and crafts but nobody
Ever ever cares about it

Hey hey, what′s your name?
Talking to the guys you hate
We should sit in silence
While we think of what to say, hey


Hey, hey, I don′t think this is working out
Will you forgot I even asked you to come over to my house?

Hey hey, I don't think I know much
But I know I couldn′t take a good punch
So if you feel like I've been talking enough
Just tell me to shut up and I will probably shut the fuck up

I′m afraid of everything
Staying the same or worsening
So what's the point of finding calm
When calm to me is unsettling?

Settle down, little kid
Your bones are shaking in your skin
Go and try to take a breath
Nothing more, nothing less

Issa issa issa, typical story of
The king who had it all
Except for citizens who didn′t want his head upon a wall

It's a typical story
Of the wife who couldn't quit
Being in love with such a giant piece of shit


It′s the story of the queen
Who could never ever think
Of any redeeming qualities
A man could ever bring

It′s the story of the dog
Who wanted to run away
'Till he learned that his life
Is way safer inside a cage

I don′t really need much
Just a place to be alone
You don't really see much
I think that I′m invisible
My mirror shows another guy
A guy who doesn't do shit
He just sits and is miserable

Everybody′s gotta
Live a life
That they didn't ask for
Why
Would he put me here
Just to die?
Just to, just to die

Hey hey, what's your name?
Talking to the guys you hate
We should sit in silence
While we think of what to say, hey

Hey, hey, I don′t think this is working out
Will you forgot I even asked you to come over to my house?

Hey hey, I don′t think I know much
But I know I couldn't take a good punch
So if you feel like I′ve been talking enough
Just tell me to shut up and I will probably shut the fuck up

And hey

Everybody's gotta
Live a life
That they didn′t ask for
Why
Would he put me here
Just to die?
Just to, just to die

Hey hey, what's your name?
Talking to the guys you hate
We should sit in silence
While we think of what to say, hey

Hey, hey, I don′t think this is working out
Will you forgot I even asked you to come over to my house?

Hey hey, I don't think I know much
But I know I couldn't take a good punch
So if you feel like I′ve been talking enough
Just tell me to shut up and I will probably shut the fuck up
