Kids In A Play Lyrics
We are like kids in a play
Set in the Victorian age
We only know what to say
Because we practiced at home
Or rehearsed on the bus
Next to kids just like us
Who couldn't help but think we were weird
And you would open your mouth and it would kill me
Just start to speak of the South, like I had been there
And you would forgive yourself as you map my words
I think it's your turn to leave and throw a fit
And I will mumble and grieve and then sigh
Brings the crowd to their feet and almost makes you cry
What if no one comes
What if we get bored
Will you fit my clothes
If we should switch roles
Here we go
We’re like kids in a play
Set in the Victorian age
We only know what to say
Because we practiced at home
Or we rehearsed on the bus
Next to kids just like us
Who couldn't help but think, they couldn’t help it
They couldn’t help it (x3)
Set in the Victorian age
We only know what to say
Because we practiced at home
Or rehearsed on the bus
Next to kids just like us
Who couldn't help but think we were weird
Just start to speak of the South, like I had been there
And you would forgive yourself as you map my words
I think it's your turn to leave and throw a fit
And I will mumble and grieve and then sigh
Brings the crowd to their feet and almost makes you cry
What if we get bored
Will you fit my clothes
If we should switch roles
Here we go
Set in the Victorian age
We only know what to say
Because we practiced at home
Or we rehearsed on the bus
Next to kids just like us
Who couldn't help but think, they couldn’t help it
They couldn’t help it (x3)

I thought it went more cleverer:
We are like kids in a play Set in the Victorian Age We only know what to say Because we practiced at home or we rehearsed on the bus Next to kids just like us Who couldn't help but think we were weird. (ha, ha, ha...Mmmmmmm)
And I would open my mouth And you would cue me I'd start to speak of the South Like I'd been there and you would forget yourself As you mouthed my words
I think it's your turn to leave and throw a fit And I will mumble and grieve in an aside It brings the crowd to their feet and almost makes you cry
(Mmmmm....Yeaaah) (Ah, uh-ah, ah ah-uh, ah uh-uh-uh-ah-ah-ah)
What if no one comes? What if we get bored? Will you fit my clothes? We should switch roles
We are like kids in a play Set in the Victorian Age We only know what to say because we practiced at home Or we rehearsed on the bus Next to kids just like us Who couldn't help but think, they couldn't help it
(Hey? You guys wanna start a playhouse?)
