Get a Life
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.
Let me tell you a story about this guy I knew.
He had all these people telling him what to do, they said:
Get a job, put on a tie,
cut your hair instead of getting high.
Take this guitar play all you can but I,
dont wanna see you in a Rock n Roll band
Dream all you might, but get a life,
you gotta hit the books and do it right.
Dont fool around, dont roll the dice,
dont hang with women till youre old and wise.
oh, if you only knew, I cant listen to you
Dont tell me... what to say or do.
Just let me... live my life, not you.
Dont want to... hang on tight on the noose.
I gotta lot to lose, I gotta lot to lose.
(Solo)
So that kid grew up and he got a job and he got a life,
only he didnt wear a tie, he wore a mean guitar, and he said:
I walk my talk, and I know its on your mind,
every night you see me playing, feeling fine.
And deep inside you wonder what its like
to be in my shoes and not bitch about my life.
oh, if you only knew, I cant listen to you
Dont tell me what to say or do.
Just let me live my life, not you.
Dont want to hang on tight on the noose.
I gotta lot to lose, I gotta lot to lose.
Dont tell me what to say or do.
Just let me live my life, not you.
Dont want to hang on tight on the noose.
I gotta lot to lose, I gotta lot to lose.
I gotta lot to lose, I gotta lot to lose.
I gotta lot to lose, I gotta lot to lose.
I gotta lot to lose, I gotta lot to lose.
I gotta lot to lose, I gotta lot to lose.
