Lyrics
Average Kind Of Guy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm overworked and underpaid
Under loved and overlaid
Oh, me, me oh, my
I'm your average kind of guy
I hate my job and I hate my wife
I hate my house and I hate my life
I love to drink and I love to play
I love to make love each and every day
I love my kids and I hate my bills
I'm low on luck and I'm high on pills
I love to rock and I love to roll
This world outside - is too damn cold
I hate how soon tomorrow's here
I turn around and it's next year
I hate the way they raise the rent
The landlord and the president
I hate the way I stay in debt
I love the girls that I can't get
A dollar now ain't worth a dime
But I'm just scared to plan a crime
