Liner Notes

Lyrics

I want some of this
but I always get some of that
don't give me no substitute
I'll wear jeans not some secondhand suit

Don't want any more crap
Don't want any more crap
Don't give me any more crap
Don't want any more crap

Everybody's got a bag of tricks
But I've got the short end of the stick
All my life people telling me this
But I have eyes I can see it's that

Don't want any more lies
Don't want any more lies
Don't tell me any more lies
Don't want any more lies

Everybody's got a bag of tricks
But I've got the short end of the stick
All my life people telling me this
But I have eyes I can see it's that

Hey boy
Where ya goin' with that gun?
Whatever you're aiming for
I'm sure they also got one

I want some of this
But I always get some of that
Don't try to keep me down with your rules
I'll wear jeans not some secondhand suit

This and that
Miss or splat
You're fooling yourself if you think you've got a choice
YOU GOT NO VOICE

Nice lyrics and good cadence to the song.

As an aside I don't think I can sing to well either, but I just give it a go - what's the worst that's going to happen I don't think anyone has died from listening to me sing just yet. It's like learning any other instrument - the more you do it the better you'll get - have confidence in your abilities.

This stanza:
Hey boy
Where ya goin' with that gun?
Whatever you're aiming for
I'm sure they also got one

strikes me as especially profound. Great lyrics throughout, catchy melody and backing track. Really effective song here! Well done!
