    I remember in 4th grade we wrote our names on a piece of paper and we went around the room writing nice things on each other's
    papers and mine only had "Funny". Everyone had so many mixed things like, "Pretty, Smart, Kind, Cool" and I was just, Funny.

      @@letmedeletemyaccountohmygo3089 "good artist" and "smart." I rarely ever get compliments on my personality or appearance, just that I can draw and write.

      Don't feel down about things like that. We all notice in other people, the things we can't do. If you were funny, or if you were the artist, people notice that before they comment on anything else, and that's something to be proud of. I'd rather be noticed for something I do than something I just... am.

      Being funny is a very important quality in a person. But, I get it, it kind of stings if that's all people have to say. It's lucky that you're considered so funny that nothing else tops it though! Be proud cause being funny can help people out of bad times.

    [Verse 1]
    I don't wanna be funny anymore
    I don't wanna be funny anymore
    Lately, I've been feeling like the odd man out
    I hurt my friends saying things I don't mean out loud
    [Verse 2]
    I don't wanna be funny anymore
    I got a too short skirt, maybe I can be the cute one
    Is there room in the band? I don't need to be the front man
    If not, then I'll be the biggest fan
    [Verse 3]
    I don't want the joke to be on me
    Yeah, I'll buy the clothes and I'll be the best dressed
    Yeah, I'll read the books and I'll be the smartest
    I'll play guitar and I'll be the artist
    [Bridge]
    Try not to laugh
    I know it'll be hard
    I'm serious
    I know it's a first but
    [Verse 4]
    I don't wanna be funny anymore
    Yeah, I'll be the gossip, hear it through the grape vine
    Pass it on, she's done with the old times
    That funny girl doesn't wanna smile for a while

    Vingt ans tout rond, des grands yeux bleus où se noyer, et une voix profonde jouant les funambules sur des morceaux autant hantés que déjantés, cavalcades rock à la Courtney Barnett, ballades enjôleuses style Sharon Van Etten : telle est *Lucy Dacus*, auteure-compositrice-interprète descendue de sa Virginie natale son premier effort (_No Burden_, le 26/02) dans le sac à dos, où elle partage avec une belle candeur des textes intimes empli de douces quotidiennetés dont on s'arrache à regret. A suivre.

Well tough, tired of performing to give you my gift of Entertainment anymore... your turn/leave me alone/don't expect it all the time/don't rely on me to make your life... etc. GREAT SONG! IMHO: Her 'acting' is NOT what MUSIC is about via 'her video performance' BTW. :D
