Music was my hobby, something that I did for fun Now that it's become a job, the damage has been done No amount of money can repair my broken lungs And who cares what yer makin' if yer makin' it alone
Sick all the time, I miss my wife - I quit Got better things to do with my life - I quit I quit - I quit
Go ahead and say it, tell me I'm getting old Tell me I'm a sellout, but it's you that's being sold See, I refuse to think of rock and roll as my career Tell me all my opportunities, ask me if I care
The rock star lifestyle ain't for me - I quit Got somewhere else I'd rather be, so I quit I quit - I quit
Go ahead and say it, call me a fuckin' wimp Just cuz I've got a different kind of life that I wanna live You can criticize my ideals and my priorities But ultimately I don't give a flying fuck what you think of me
I don't believe in that macho shit - I quit I know there's no way you can understand it - I quit Sick all the time, I miss my wife - I quit Got better things to do with my life - I quit I quit - I quit
What'd ya think, I wanted to be Mick Jagger or something, Playing the pixie at 50 or 60? Gimme a break! I mean, I don't wanna grow up and all that, but The time has come for me to say I quit
Alive
i know i don't control you i know i don't own you but i still feel a sense of pride 'cause i know what we have is alive it's alive and it always used to frighten me now i know it'll always be a part of me it's alive
i know sometimes we're strangers i know there's still some danger but i still feel a sense of pride 'cause i know what we have is alive it's alive and it always used to frighten me now i know it'll always be a part of me it's alive
alive more than survive more than get by more than our lives it's alive
i know we'll be together i know forever baby, look into my eyes and you'll know what we have is alive alive alive it's alive and it always used to frighten me now i know it'll always be a part of me it's alive
it's alive and it always used to frighten me now i know it'll always be a part of me it's alive
