Staind is a four-piece alternative band from Springfield, Massachusetts. Staind self-released their debut album, Tormented, in November 1996. Their second album, Dysfunction (produced by Fred Durst and released on Elektra Records), was their breakthrough record, and has sold more than two million albums in the United States. However, it was the release of the single "Outside" off of The Family Values Tour '99 compilation that sent Staind into superstar status. With heartbreaking lyrics and great acoustic guitar, the single garnered massive radio airplay and was a major force behind sending Staind's next album, Break the Cycle, into multiplatinum status.

How About You Lyrics
Staind
If someone showed you the way
Would you take the wheel and steer?
It hurts me that your not ashamed
Of what you're doing here
If they jumped off a bridge
Would you meet them on the ground?
Or would you try and claim
It never made a sound?
Everyone plays the hand they're dealt
And learns to walk through life themselves
Not everything in life is handed on a plate
When people think your words are true
It doesn't matter what you do
I sold my soul to get here
How 'bout you?
so you choose to force your hand
What a strange way to make friends
And you always change the rules
so the drama never ends
And you blindly go through life
Judging only but it's worth
Just try not to forget
That the meek inherit earth
Everyone plays the hand they're dealt
And learns to walk through life themselves
Not everything in life is handed on a plate
When people think your words are true
It does'nt matter what you do
I sold my soul to get here
How 'bout you?
So please don't take offence
This is just a point of view
'Cause I'm the only one who
Will say these things to you
Everyone plays the hand they're dealt
And learns to walk through life themselves
Not everything in life is handed on a plate
When people think your words are true
It doesn't matter what you do
I sold my soul to get here
How 'bout you?
