I Should Quit
Any publicity is good publicity
Well that's a bare-faced lie
Look at Adolf Hitler, Josef Fritzl, Jimmy fucking Savile
Universally vilified
So before you load your gun and acidify your tongue
Aim at my art and fire
I suggest you take your time to consider the cruelty of my crimes
Because all I've done is write
Songs that sound good in my head
Songs that don't make any sense to anyone but me
I'm aware that it's subjective
It's your choice to be subjected to these thoughts of mine
If it doesn't float your boat, well that's fine
Just know that there's nothing you can do
To stop me from telling the truth
I'm just so goddamned good
If everyone liked everything
Then everyone would be happy
If everyone liked everything
Then everyone would be boring
Stamp your feet and clap your hands
If you think a few words can dictate your every move
Stamp your feet and clap your hands
If you think your fellow man can think for himself too
Before you dip your quill in ink
That instigates the illnesses that plague my self-esteem
I suggest you have a drink or four
And have a good long think before you
Crush this poor boy's dreams
'Cause these songs don't sound shit in my head
And despite all the shit you said
I don't believe that I should let go of what I love to do
And the fact is I love to do this, my friend
The only thing that makes me high, makes me sing
Though it's just writing words and melodies over guitar riffs and beats
I'm just so goddamned good
If everyone liked everything
Then everyone would be happy
If everyone liked everything
Then everyone would be boring
I should quit, I should quit, I should quit while I'm ahead
I should quit, I should quit before it gets to my head
I should quit, I should quit, I should quit while I'm ahead
I should quit, I should quit before it gets to my head
I'm just no goddamned good
If everyone liked everything
Then everyone would be happy
If everyone liked everything
Then maybe someone would like me
Well that's a bare-faced lie
Look at Adolf Hitler, Josef Fritzl, Jimmy fucking Savile
Universally vilified
So before you load your gun and acidify your tongue
Aim at my art and fire
I suggest you take your time to consider the cruelty of my crimes
Because all I've done is write
Songs that sound good in my head
Songs that don't make any sense to anyone but me
I'm aware that it's subjective
It's your choice to be subjected to these thoughts of mine
If it doesn't float your boat, well that's fine
Just know that there's nothing you can do
To stop me from telling the truth
I'm just so goddamned good
If everyone liked everything
Then everyone would be happy
If everyone liked everything
Then everyone would be boring
Stamp your feet and clap your hands

I'm just no goddamned good
If everyone liked everything
Then everyone would be happy
If everyone liked everything
Then maybe someone would like me
