If that phones keep ringing

I'm gonna lose some cool

I'm in my closet and I'm okay

Leave me in peaceful abject misery



I'm a young man now but

There's an old man on my back

As he gets stronger I get weak

Someday soon he'll take the place of me



If that scum keeps rising

I'm gonna jump this ship

Tell me where did it go wrong

I can't fix it I'll just sing my song



You can deride and mock me

That's been done before

I won't get on my knees for you

I won't be a record business whore
