lyrics

Well they say that I don’t enunciate
When I step up on the stage
So just shoot me
And my mistakes are too easily displayed
By expressions on my face
But somehow I can get away
With imperfections
When the bass is leakin’ out the speakers
Cuz it’s all about the big picture
When you listen to this here
Rock and roll kinda music

So, Tyler
Take a look at all our faults
Like we’re in Hollywood
And stack us up with all the big boys, but
If you take the time to analyze
You’ll find we’re not that good
So can sit back, relax, and enjoy the noise

This ain’t bubble gum
That’s me chewing on my tongue
And if you’ve got a problem with it
You better take the exit out
Because it’s me
And until somebody pays
I ain’t ever gonna change my ways
It’s all the same
When people play that game
Of pin the donkey on the tail
Because it’s 1, 3, 4, 5, 6
In the progression
It’s simple, but effective
To keep the people dancing

So put down the Downbeat magazine
And I think that maybe you might see
What you’re missing
Take it from me

This is not our 9 to 5
Working hard just to stay alive
We just try to make you smile
If you don’t like it, change the dial
Put down your Downbeat magazine
And maybe you’d see what I mean
We play this way because we’ve got to
