Play for You

I finally found the lyrics to Dan Vaillancourt's "Play for You" (which I dubbed one of two theme songs for indie musicians):

i know my music has not made me rich
but still i’ll sing all my songs for you
sometimes a poor man can give more
than a man born with a silver spoon

my mother always says i need to go get a job
you only take advantage of me
all you do is play your music all day
sometimes you play gigs and you don’t get paid
what you gonna do, play in bars your whole life
you could never support a family in this way
you can’t do this, dan you should just concentrate on school
someday you’ll need to face the world

sometimes i don’t know why i make records
‘cause that’s where i spend every penny i earn
but so bad i just want you to hear all my songs
i write so many these days
so if i sing, please turn and ear my way
you could see straight into my soul
so if i play, i don’t get paid but you leave with a tune in your ear
today was a good day


The rest of the lyrics are similarly amusing and true. And of course, the end goal is getting to play and get paid, but who's counting?
