lyrics

I have quit every job that I've had,
Except for one and that was seasonal.
Wait for an employer to take my hand and say,
Here's what you've been looking for.
Because nothing ever satisfies me,
The women and the work are never good enough.
Nothing feels as right as the music does,
so I'll keep making it about how everything else sucks.

It's not worked out with any girlfriend I've had
I'm just not that good at the game.
Waiting for an angel to take my hand,
So she can say 'of course I'll share your pain.'
Because no one ever sweeps me away,
Or takes me to place where I'd be happy to stay.
Nothing feels as right as the music does,
So I'll keep writing it, but that really don't help things much.

There are plenty people out there,
And most of them are happy to share.
But when they stretch out their hand, you know I put it in a blender,
They're never gonna lend it again.

I am critical of most works of art,
Except my own! And baby that is the crux.
Waiting for my ego to meet its match,
So I can say 'baby, now I'm in luck!'
Because nothing ever meets my demands,
Except a few dead authors and a few famous bands.
Nothing feels as right as my music does,
And that's the reason why my feet are stuck in the mud.

I am only going to sing one more verse,
Because honestly it's getting me down.
Waiting for someone to interrupt and say,
'Rob, man, relax, chill, live in the moment man, it's all gonna be fine'.

But y'know...
Certain things do satisfy me.
Like cigarettes, booze, food and a bad movie.
Nothings feels as right as self destruction…

But the music's alright.
It helps me to fight,
My endless, pointless battles with the world.
And here's my last line:
I'm sure I'll be fine...
Yeah right.
