Nobodys and Somebodys
https://suno.com/song/e82af366-7e66-4c45-a94a-9f64ed40e3b7
Verse 1
I’ve sat in rooms with polished shoes
And million-dollar grins
They talked in circles, quoted books
But never said how to win
At losin’ something you can’t replace
Or holdin’ back your pride
They shook my hand like kings of men
But never bled inside
Chorus
The nobodys showed me everything
The somebodys showed me doors
One taught me how to stand back up
One just pointed at the floor
Turns out truth don’t wear a title
Or sign autographs for show
I learned more from the broke-down ones
Than the ones who “ought to know”
Post-Chorus
The nobodys don’t talk that loud
But they ain’t wrong that often
Verse 2
Old Joe down at the body shop
Missing half a thumb
Said “Kid, don’t chase what don’t chase you
Or you’ll end up cold and numb”
He never wrote a book in ink
Never made the news
But every scar across his hands
Was a lesson I could use
Chorus
The nobodys showed me everything
The somebodys showed me doors
One taught me how to stand back up
One just pointed at the floor
Turns out truth don’t wear a title
Or sign autographs for show
I learned more from the broke-down ones
Than the ones who “ought to know”
Post-Chorus
The nobodys don’t talk that loud
But they ain’t wrong that often
Bridge (drop instruments slightly)
Fame’s a rented Cadillac
Wisdom’s a rusted Ford
One’ll shine beneath the camera flash
One’ll still get you home, Lord
Final Chorus (slight lift)
The nobodys showed me everything
The somebodys showed me doors
One taught me how to bleed and heal
One just kept the score
Turns out truth don’t wear a title
Or need a microphone
I learned more from the quiet ones
Than the ones up on a throne
Final Post-Chorus (band punches here)
The nobodys don’t talk that loud
But they ain’t wrong that often

The nobodys showed me everything - my dad rarely spoke, when he did it meant something and he would only debate a point if he was 100% right. he didn't need to grandstand; he let his actions speak ;)

Kinda how it works . The somebody's are above our pay grade . Thats why they're somebody's. You will not understand Elon Musk
But you will understand the old truck driver and his knowledge

I didn't get that gene as I argue sometimes just to argue, which used to really frustrate my late wife, as 1/2 the time she knew I was arguing just to watch her get flustered :)

Good song, especially the chorus.
Popular message for the audience!
In the post chorus I'd probably switch "But they ain’t wrong that often" to "But they ain’t often wrong"
Nice.
