    Lyrics
    Brian played guitar
    He wasn't very good, that was his charm
    And he swore he’d be an indie god by 23
    Now he’s 25 and living on Long Island
    And I called him up
    To finally do some catching up
    And that’s when he said to me
    “Listen carefully
    I was just a kid then
    Money makes the world spin
    And if they tell you different
    Then they’re lying or they’re poor
    Good luck with your tour”

    Lauren sang for us
    She didn’t have a head voice, but who does?
    And her plans were set to be a Broadway triple threat
    Then she met some guy at Brown
    Who turned her world upside-down
    Now they’re married with a kid
    I can barely believe it
    The other day she said to me
    “Listen carefully
    I was just a kid then
    Family makes the world spin
    And if they tell you different
    Then they’re lying or they’re gay
    Good luck in L.A.”

    John does people’s income tax
    Jesse works for Goldman Sachs
    David’s at a desk all day
    Doing what, he can’t quite say
    Half my friends will spend their lives
    Bored as hell from 9 to 5
    If nothing comes from writing songs
    That could be me in not too long

    Now I’m freakin out
    I can’t answer the phone, I might find out
    That someone else I knew
    Is throwing in the towel too
    Minivans and Christmas trees
    Are smiling smugly, beckoning to me
    It’s all that I can do
    To turn my glance away from you
    And tell the people that I knew
    To listen carefully
    “Maybe you’ve forgotten
    But music makes the world spin
    And if they tell you different
    Then ignore the things they say
    Get up on stage and play”
