    LYRICS
    There is this thing that's like touching except you don't touch
    Back in the day it just went without saying at all
    All the world's history gradually dying of shock
    There is this thing that's like talking except you don't talk
    You sing
    You sing
    Sing for the bartender sing for the janitor sing
    Sing for the cameras sing for the animals sing
    Sing for the children shooting the children sing
    Sing for the teachers who told you that you couldn't sing
    Just sing
    There is this thing keeping everyone's lungs and lips locked
    It is called fear and it's seeing a great renaissance
    After the show you can not sing wherever you want
    But for now let's just pretend we're all gonna get bombed
    So sing
    Sing cause it's obvious sing for the astronauts sing
    Sing for the president sing for the terrorists sing
    Sing for the soccer team sing for the janjaweed sing
    Sing for the kid with the phone who refuses to sing
    Just sing
    Life is no cabaret
    We don't care what you say
    We're inviting you anyway
    You motherfuckers you'll sing someday

    Whenever I'm feeling unconfident about my singing and I get really depressed and just want to give up, I listen to this song.

    I've loved this song since it was first released. After I arrived home from Afghanistan I'd watch the clip and bawl my eyes out. Thank you Amanda and Brian for getting it.

    I usually have to be in a certain kind of mood for a song to make me cry, especially the first time I hear it. The first time I heard this song was just now. I was in a perfectly normal mood, eating breakfast and watching youtube videos. Then I listened to this. Now I'm crying into my cereal. In a good way though!

    you have to respect talent, simple as that. The dolls and Amanda Palmer herself have a thoughtful energy that few others seem to have. Long may her light shine in a sea of darkness.

    I heard this song for the first time in Germany back in like 2008 or something, I was repulsed by it. It wasn't the songs fault but my own. I came back to it today because I dunno, it is exquisite now for some reason.

    @bennewton2679 5 лет назад +1

    This song is about forgiveness, not empowerment. Its about looking on the other side to those that you may have hurt or wronged or arguments you didnt see the other side of. Its not a song about self-empowerment. Look at amanda. Thats not her being effing mazzy star over here. This song is looking at the other side of what you know, understand and believe. This is my breakfast, because it humbles me.

    I agree that the censorship is completely unnecessary and damages the integrity of the song, but let's not target rap as inferior, okay? Like any genre, it is perfectly capable of producing innovative, insightful music.

    okay so i am a HUGE fan of my chemical romance, and i heard Gerard (the singer) was really into the Dresden Dolls and he said it was a basically a woman who sang and played piano and a drummer, and i sing and play the piano so that really got me interested so this is the 3rd song i have listened to by them and im really impressed i like them i think i am going to listen to more haha

    No, the 16 dislikes on this fucking video are because they edited the crap out of it. Some cuss words are there to express a valid emotion and fuck fuck fuck is sometimes appropriate. LoL
