I Quit Lyrics

Things were very different in metal's early year
You could leave your day job and forge a new career
But now a good job means some pizza and nine bucks
This sucks
So I've been thinking hard and I've come to a decision about this shit

I quit!

Seven hours in a bar
Every night of tour is not my idea of fun

I like travelling with my pals, but enough,
Hell with this, I'm done

I could be sitting at home with Netflix, relaxing
While I draw up some art

Instead of being miserable and breathing in your smoke
While bashing my head apart

Dudes are sick of listening to me whine
These guys want to tour all of the time
I'll run things behind the scenes
And write more songs but as for shows,
You're out of luck, find someone who's a better fit

'Cause you know what? I quit!

Tom, come on, you can't leave the band
This is your baby, I don't understand

We're going in different directions, this blows,
I don't like bars and I don't like shows.

People won't come if they won't see your face!
You're the main draw, you can't be replaced

That's bullshit, people just like the songs
It doesn't matter who does the screaming, you're wrong
I would stay if this paid like a job
But I miss my home, I miss my dog
I wish you the best, I wish you well
But from now on find someone else

Please stay, no one else could stir up such a pit

Yeah that's true... but I told you already
I quit! [5x]
I'm out! I'm gone! I'm through! I'm done! I quit!
Quit! Quit!

What if we get a big show in Europe or something?
Oh! Maybe...
