lyrics

Not Taking Credit

You say you don't bring up your little acts of charity
The modest role you play has got to be a parody
You do so much when no one's looking like you do not care
But you are sure to leave your fingerprints everywhere

And you want credit for not taking credit
You want credit for not taking credit for the things you do
Those caring things you do

You like to keep it to yourself is what you always claim
But then you always seem to accidentally sign your name
Your favorite saying is "give credit where credit's due"
That's why it is so hard when nobody credits you

And you want credit for not taking credit
You want credit for not taking credit for the things you do
Those loving things you do

You never do it from the goodness of your heart
Turn insincerity into an art
You never do it from the goodness of your heart
You're only filling up your karmic shopping cart

Your secret credit rating is the highest score around
But you have turned into the single biggest bore around

And you want credit for not taking credit
You want credit for not taking credit for the things you do
Those loving things you do
You want credit for not taking credit

Each time Sal heard a new Dunbar record, he wondered why he was never asked to play on it. They both always dreamed of playing with mutual friend, Sal Maida. After the unspoken was spoken, The John Sally Ride was formed. ... more
