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
