Show Business Songtext

Sometimes I
Don′t see it so clear when everything I need
And know's right beneath my nose hairs, sometimes I
Know that this showbiz will make me blow and let go
Eyes closed, and I don′t see it
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? Couldn't give up all the free shit I didn′t need


I′m grateful to say you gave me a stage
Maybe I was made for more than slavin' cradle to grave
Without a space to escape would′ve 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 from the cage, if I could
Walk away, I′d already be gone (oh, woo-ooh-ooh)

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-ba-ba


You′ll never hear me
Complain so don′t get me wrong, I
Love what I do, I do, I do, 20 years and
Some change though, been here so long
I'm married to the game, I do, I do (So wassup 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 phone
And I′m tired of my phone, so I'm retiring my phone
And all the sickness that resides in my phone, look (whoa-whoa-oh-oh)
Don′t get me wrong, son, I love to connect (whoa-whoa-oh-oh)
But I just wanna write songs, they want to come for my neck (whoa-whoa-oh-oh)
And I got a young family I gotta protect (whoa-whoa-oh-oh)
So I'ma disconnect love and respect

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-ba-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-oh
Where I go from here, haha
The lights and the shows and the bars and the fights
Is all I've known for 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
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
