Lyrics Brandy Clark – Soap Opera

Ain’t we all the stars
Ain’t we all the stars
Playing the leading part
In our own soap opera

Sherry shampooed ’til she got her own chair
Now she’s playing shrink to every head of hair
A mani or a pedi or color or a cut
8 hours a day, it’s the same old stuff
They got trouble with their ex and his next wife
Sands through the hourglass, days of our lives

Ain’t we all the stars
Ain’t we all the stars
Playing the leading part
In a day time drama
Young and restless hearts
Duckin’ and throwing darts
Yeah we’re all big stars
In our own soap opera

Jimmy wipes down the bar, makes a mean martini
They tip it on back and give him the skinny
Shaken or stirred or a bottle or a draft
They’re bearing their souls to bottom of the glass
They got trouble with their girl and their girlfriend’s mama
This one life to live got a whole lotta drama

Ain’t we all the stars
Ain’t we all the stars
Playing the leading part
In a day time drama
Young and restless hearts
Duckin’ and throwing darts

This town might be little bitty
But just ask Sherry or Jimmy
If Hollywood was handing out Emmys
We’d all be saying gimme, gimme, gimme
