lyrics

Have you ever stopped to think about everything that you believe in on a day when it’s been raining outside
And the raindrops on your window make you feel so alone and your sheets have never felt so cold at night
This existential crisis that you’re having for the first time is just the sprouting of a deeply seeded seed
So when ordering a pizza, make it large and get two drinks so they assume you’ve got another mouth to feed ‘cos you are not alone

Have you ever ventured out in the middle of the week to look for meaning in the bottom of a beer
And your friends don’t seem to worry as you’re searching and you’re searching, just waiting for that meaning to appear
Then suddenly it hits you, you’ve adopted a strategy that has ruined so many peoples lives
So when ordering your next drink, make sure that it’s a water
It’ll probably help the hangover subside
You are not alone

We’ve all been there or there about
Life’s not fair, we’ve figured out
So when the hope we’ve spared is cashing out
Take some time to focus on the plan

You can take it from this man as a lesson
You can take it from this band as a lesson
You can take it from The Shabs as a lesson

The Shabs Cape Town, South Africa

The Shabs is a Folk Punk duo out of Cape Town South Africa.
They deliver a tight, captivating set that blends sincere, melodic sing-a-long folk with the raw energy and DIY ethos of punk rock.
The band never ceases to get a crowd to throw their fists in the air and sing along to their anthemic tunes which have
been described as honest and raw and easy
to relate to. ... more
