they say ambition is an enemy of greatness and greatness is an enemy of fame when i pick up my guitar and i try to write a song i think of what my mentor used to say who fuckin gives a rat s ass steve just write a love song cause they ll keep your belly full and your wallet lined don t bother these nice people with your sad sack songs if you ask me i think they re just a waste of time inspiration is the best friend of my sorrow and sorrow is the best friend of my drink well i wanna look myself in the eye tomorrow but i m too worried about what other folks will think who fuckin gives a rat s ass steve just write a love song see a counselor if you need to ease your troubled mind and could you please sit over there i don t want you crying in my beer do you want some cheese with all that wine there s a song that i keep trying to sing to no one but i m afraid that it s too short or it s too long and to add to all the things that i m afraid of the devil stopped sending me his songs and the troubles in my heart need to get let out the troubles in my heart need to escape and i never liked writing poetry and i never liked doing pottery and god knows that i never learned to paint so every now and then i ll sing a sad song cause it keeps my spirit light and my conscience clean and if you don t care to hear it i don t mind if you go out for some air cause i m happy that you re happier than me i m happy that you re happier than me i m happy that you re happier than me3
