"How It Should Be" lyrics

How It Should Be

When I was a movie star
An asteroid had hit the earth
And prematurely ended my career
I thought out loud
But no one heard me saying

Nothing isn't nothing
Nothing's something that's important to me
That's right
And everyone's a little nothing
That's ok, that's how it should be
That's right
That's right
Sha sha
Sha doo

When I was an astronaut
I bought a fancy charm
I thought you liked it
But you called it cheap
And at my feet it felt like

So sue me, it's up to me
If I decide to be what I think
Is right
And don't bother me
When I'm watching "Planet of the apes" on TV
That's right
That's how it should be
Sha sha
Sha doo

So sue me
It's up to me
If I decide to be what I think
Is right
And the sound, it found the ground
And it hid it for free
That's right
That's how it should be
Sha sha
Sha doo
Sha sha
