Richard Marx – What's The Story lyrics

from the cd: "Flesh and Bone"

No needles, no rehab
No minors, no murder rap
Where¡¯s that leave a guy like me
Windy city square
If al that sells is tragedy I haven¡¯t got a prayer

Should I try to lose it all, kick it off the track
Just to say I took the fall but "look who¡¯s comin¡¯ back"

What¡¯s the story, where¡¯s the dirt
Nobody¡¯s happy ¡®til somebody gets hurt
I don¡¯t want t keep up with all that
The garbage that you swallow gonna someday make you fat

Normal childhood, beautiful wife
¡®Scuse me having a wonderful life
Why should I be hungry for someone else¡¯s pain
Heroes should have something but talent for fame
Double barrel in the mouth nails it every time
But that¡¯s what legend¡¯s all about
Ain¡¯t no bigger headline

What¡¯s the story, where¡¯s the dirt
Nobody¡¯s happy ¡®til somebody gets hurt
I don¡¯t want to keep up with all that
The garbage that you swallow gonna someday make you fat
Maybe I should frequent all the places that I¡¯m avoiding
And maybe you should work on building rather than destroying

If this is making friends, I¡¯d rather be lonely
So where¡¯s that leave a guy like me
Windy city square
I may never make page three but ask me if I care

What¡¯s the story, where¡¯s the dirt
Nobody¡¯s happy ¡®til somebody gets hurt
I don¡¯t want to keep up with all that
The garbage that you swallow gonna someday make you fat
