about

All throughout the years we hear these popular sayings that hint towards life lessons. Quotes like “they say be careful what you wish for”, “they say if it sounds too good to be true it probably is”, “they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger”, and many many more. Oddly, these sayings just seem to have appeared and the origin is mostly unknown, yet people base their life decisions on these words. Which begs the question “Who Are They Anyway?”

lyrics

they say a friend in need is a friend indeed
and a man’s best friend is his dog
they say that every cloud has a silver lining
it’s the darkest before the dawn

they say that birds of a feather flock together
but if you love something set it free
they say that every rose has its thorns
and misery loves company

No Pain No Gain
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger

they say be careful what you wish for
if it sounds too good to be true it probably is
they say you get what you pay for
they say all of these things
but who are they anyway?

they say that time heals all of your wounds
and even a broken clock is right twice a day
they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder
but when the cat's away the mouse will play

they say don’t look back, you can never look back
but the more things change the more they stay the same
the grass ain’t always greener on the other side
but if there’s nothing ventured there’s nothing gained

You live You learn
you play with fire you get burned

they say be careful what you wish for
if it sounds too good to be true it probably is
they say you get what you pay for
they say all of these things

like... loose lips sink ships
and if it can go wrong it probably will
they say every dog has its day
they say all of these things
but who are they anyway?

blood is thicker than water
one hand washes the other
beauty is in the eye of the beholder
you can't judge a book by its cover

they say be careful what you wish for
if it sounds too good to be true it probably is
they say you get what you pay for
they say all of these things

like... loose lips sink ships
and if it can go wrong it probably will
they say every dog has its day
they say all of these things
but who are they anyway?

who are they anyway?
who are they anyway?
who are they anyway?
who are they anyway?
