lyrics
Those teenage dreams,
You’re standing on the stage,
Guitar on your neck.
Out on the road now
For a hundred days,
You ain’t coming back.
Tour bus, a cheap squeeze
And some free booze,
What more can you ask?
But when the truth kicks in,
It knocks you on your ass.
Everybody’s stealing everything you do.
Blatant, daylight thieving your livelihood from you.
Every two-bit chancer undeserving of
Your dreams and fears.
It’s a life that’s tough to love.
‘Course, you still do it,
You know it’s what you do,
The future be damned.
No family back home
That depends on you,
You just play your hand.
You might sell some t-shirts,
Enough to buy some gas
To stay on the road.
You give your heart and soul,
‘Cos this is rock n’ roll.
But all the sharks want feeding, they’re closing in.
Long as you’re still breathing, they want in.
Every thieving bastard, is gorging at your trough.
Left in arrears
It’s a life that’s tough to love.
Everybody’s stealing everything you do.
Blatant, daylight thieving your livelihood from you.
Every faux promoter, wants all of the above.
Your sweat your tears. It’s a life that’s tough to love.
You can try for years but this life is tough to love.
