I Shook Hands With the Strange Boys

I went to meet the strange boys after a gig of mine
Outside the borderline
They were my paradigm for a time
It may not mean much to you
When a band that I love passes through
I shook all of their hands
Told them they changed the game
Asked them to stay the same
But it’s not the desire for fame that’s to blame
It may not mean much to you to be good
To be known
To be true
They took it upon themselves
Sang from town to town
They dreamt of what was now, and now
I ain’t seen them for a long time
It’s almost like they never were
Despite their three album’s work
The industry pulls you in
Makes you half
And I’ll just put in all this work
And wait my turn
It may not mean much to you
When they say that it’s hard but it’s true
I said it may not mean much to you
When you hear that it’s hard, but it’s true
