Show Business

La-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-ba-da-da
La-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-ba-da-da
Sometimes I don't see it so clear
When everything I need and know's right beneath my nose here
Sometimes I know that this show biz
Will make me blow, I let go, eyes closed and I don't steer
Let the rollercoaster take me, going close to crazy
Maybe I should call it if it's all a broken daydream
Like peace and solidity, please are you kidding me?
What me quit, and give up all the free shit I didn't need?
I'm grateful to say, it gave me a stage
Maybe I was made for more than slaving cradle to grave
Without a space to escape, would of wasted away
Chasing a ray of sunshine upon the rainiest day (oh, yeah)
A smarter man would quit this while he's sane
Been addicted to the pain of living in the game for so long
Like every bar I wrote formed a cage
If I could walk away I'd already be gone (oh, woo)
What and quit show business?
What kind of low is this?
They say do what you love
And you'll never work a day or a night
Feel like I've been working my whole life
What and quit show business?
What kind of low is this?
They say do what you love
And you'll never work a day or a night
Feel like I've been working my whole life
And the horns go
Ba-ba, ba-da-ba-ba, ba-da
Ba, ba-da-ba-ba, ba-da
Ba, ba-da-ba-ba
Ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba
You'll never hear me complain, so don't get me wrong
I love what I do, I do, I do
Twenty years and some change though, been here so long
I'm married to the game I do, I do (so what's up then?)
Well, nowadays fans have too much access
To the point I had a man come to my address
To the point I hid a bat under my mattress
To the point I had to lance this rancid abscess
This business is tied to our phones
And this just keeps us tied to our phones
And I'm tired off my phone, so I'm retiring my phone
And all the sickness that resides in my bones (whoa, whoa-oh)
Look, don't get me wrong, son, I love to connect (whoa, whoa-oh)
But I just wanna write songs, they wanna come for my neck (whoa, whoa-oh)
And I got a young family I gotta protect (whoa, whoa)
So I'ma disconnect, love and respect

Ba-ba, ba-da-ba-ba, ba-da
Ba, ba-da-ba-ba, ba-da
Ba, ba-da-ba-ba
Ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba
And I don't know where I go from here
The lights, the shows, they're things I both hold dear
And I don't know where I go from here
The lights and the shows and the bars and the flights
It's all I've known for my whole life
What and quit show business?
