I hate music, it ruined my life I shoulda had a job, a house and a wife Instead I got no future, just a DUI And I'll probably have to gig until the day that I die Some folks look forward to the weekends and fun But my gig starts when their work is done They all go out for a night on the town See an asshole like me act like a clown At least I'm doin' what I want, that's what they think 'Cause I couldn't stand to play, if I didn't drink The songs people love are the ones I hate most But you know I won't mind 'em, as soon as I'm toast Now rock and roll's got benefits that other jobs lack You can lose your hearing, and throw out your back And if you like to travel, travel you can Out to east Jesus in a broken down van And you don't even have to buy cigarettes 'Cause the room's all filled up with the smoke that you get And the girls that come in, they might wish you well But you know they'll be leavin' with somebody else And you're makin' a CD to hit the big time But you better sell a million if you wanna see a dime And at least it's exposure - that's what they say But you can die of exposure in less than a day Now I ain't complainin', I made my choice And I better shut up 'cause I'm losin' my voice But when somebody asks me how I like what I do, I look 'em in the eyes and I tell 'em the truth, I say I hate music, it ruined my life I shoulda had a job, a house and a wife Instead I got no future, just a DUI And I'll probably have to gig until the day that I die I hate music, it ruined my life I shoulda had a house, a job and a wife Instead I got no future, just a DUI And I'll probably have to gig until the day that I die
