Goldfish Bowl

[Verse 1]

What will it take for them to leave it alone?

Don't they understand I'm just a guy who sings songs?

I got no hit record

Man, I don't do no TV shows, no TV shows

And I don't have no reason to live in a goldfish bowl

[Verse 2]

I'm just doing my gigs and I'm on and off the road

Everything I say is not meant to be taken like set in stone

'Cause they call me a celebrity

Baby, that doesn't mean it's true, doesn't mean it's true

'Cause I don't believe in any myth, people, so why should you?

[Chorus]

I'm singing jazz, blues and funk

Some rock and roll

Folk music with a beat

And a whole lot of soul

I ain't got no hit record

Man, I ain't doing no TV shows, no TV shows

And I don't have no reason to live in a goldfish bowl, goldfish bowl

(All right)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Well, there's parasites and psychic vampires playing on the public at large

Casting their dark shadow onto everyone else

And the media barons

Play on a lower key

And they prey on everybody, prey on you and me

[Chorus]

I'm singing jazz, blues and funk

Some rock and roll

Folk music with a beat

And a whole lot of soul

I, I, I ain't got no hit record

I ain't got no TV shows, no TV shows

So I ain't got no reason to live in a goldfish bowl

No reason, no reason, no reason, yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

Well, I don't have no reason to live in a goldfish bowl

Good evening, friends
