Hillbilly Hellcats I Hate Music
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
