Jaded Performer

Throw on those torn blue jeans, with the hole above the knee
Tune the metallic strings, swill the dark, thick beer and white foam
Drop a smile and lift a sneer, drown thoughts in pools of apathy
An audience of desire screams and moans for a performance

Tune the metallic strings, swill the dark, thick beer and white foam
Never thought you’d be here, bright lights burn the soul
An audience of desire screams and moans for a performance
Trade in a worn axe, no more ticket stubs and sponsored acts

The next Mick and Keith, burned leather suit cases for faces
Every teenager has a pair torn blue jeans, with a hole above the knee
In the audience of desire that screams and moans for a performance
With a laugh, you strum a chord, you drank too much
