Tone Deaf
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.
Tone deaf - i can't play an instrument
Tone deaf - i can't even sing
Tone deaf - i have to wear ear plugs
The noise makes my ears ring
They told me when i was eleven
"you shouldn't even bother to try
You've got no musical ability"
And they weren't telling a lie
Tone deaf - i've got no rhythm
Tone deaf - i've got no pitch
Tone deaf - i couldn't hit an octave
If it meant that i'd get rich
All i can do is shout
Louder and faster than most
That's what i do for a living
Traveling coast to coast
Tone deaf - i don't have good meter
Tone deaf - i can't sing tremolo
Tone deaf - i've got poor register
You won't hear me sing falsetto
No, i can't hit those high notes
And i can't go real low
All in all i'm tone deaf
And everyone tells me so
Tone deaf
