I Can´t Play The Blues

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 play as fast as I can - I'm the Gingerbread Man

With a fast hand - won't ya kick me outta your band

I only play for me - I'm the king of Unity

I'm a team of one - a defective hired gun

I play like a ham, well that makes me Spam

And then I wonder why nobody ever wants to jam

'Cause ya feel like a pawn in a volume war

And I'm the only one who bothers keeping score

Because I got no feel - I got no emotion

My riffs aren't real - I just go through the motions

I'm fulla tricks and trinkets that I always use

I ain't got much choice - I can't play the blues

And just in case I'm in a finger race

I keep it up and I keep pretending that I win the chase

But if ya play faster than the speed of light (according to Einstein)

Ya go back in time - and end up in the 80's

With our big hair

Jackets with fringes

Stretch pants

Mascara

Choreographed kicking

You got a big laugh outta 70's disco

But you became the same by a different name

Ya forgot to change your calendar 10 years in a row

Now ya can't find the pace of the new game

I play it like a ham, yeah with lots of spice

I'm the Son Of Spam in a block of ice

Yeah, I can't lay back - I get all confused

And if I slow it down you'll see the riffs I already used

Because I got no feel - I got no emotion

My riffs aren't real - I just go through the motions

I'm fulla tricks and trinkets that I always use

I ain't got much choice - I can't play the blues

Yeah I actually believe that if I wail up and down a scale

Then the world is gonna get up on their feet and yell...

"Hail Ronald! Hail Ronald!

Take your big head and go to Hail, Ronald!"

Yeah, I can't lay back - I get all confused

And if I slow it down you'll see the riffs I already used

I play like a ham, well that makes me Spam

And then I wonder why nobody ever wants to jam

Because I got no feel - I got no emotion

My riffs aren't real - I just go through the motions

I'm fulla tricks and trinkets that I always use

I ain't got much choice - I can't play the blues
