Tone deaf - I can't play an instrument

Tone deaf - I can't even sing

Tone deaf - I have to wear ear plugs



The noise makes my ears ring

They told me when I was eleven

"You shouldn't even bother to try

You've got no musical ability"

And they weren't telling a lie



Tone deaf - I've got no rhythm

Tone deaf - I've got no pitch

Tone deaf - I couldn't hit an octave



If it meant that I'd get rich

All I can do is shout

Louder and faster than most

That's what I do for a living

Traveling coast to coast



Tone deaf - I don't have good meter

Tone deaf - I can't sing tremolo

Tone deaf - I've got poor register



You won't hear me sing falsetto

No, I can't hit those high notes

And I can't go real low

All in all I'm tone deaf

And everyone tells me so



Tone deaf
