I Hate Music     Chuck Hughes ASCAP

I hate music, it ruined my life
I shoulda had a job, a house and a wife
Instead I got no future, just a DUI
and I'll probably have to gig until the day that I die

Some folks look forward to the weekends and fun
But my gig starts when their work is done
They all go out for a night on the town
See an asshole like me act lie a clown

At least I'm doin' what I want, that's what they think
But I couldn't stand to play, if I didn't drink
The songs people love are the ones I hate most
But you know I won't mind 'em, as soon as I'm toast

Now rock and roll's got benefits that other jobs lack
you can lose your hearing, and throw out your back.
And if you like to travel, travel you can
Out to east Jesus in a broken down van

And you don't even have to buy cigarettes
Cause the room's all filled up with the smoke that you get
And the girls that come in, they might wish you well
But you know they'll be leavin' with somebody else

Now I ain't complainin', I made my choice
And I better shut up 'cause I'm losin' my voice
But when somebody asks me what is it that I do,
I look 'em in the eyes and I tell 'em the truth
