Sam Dielle - Half a Cent

The tenner in my pocket
Is all my music's worth
And I could buy a pint or two
And have nothing left on earth
It's a shame something so thankless
Is my idea of fun
But if the name of the game is to have a good time
Then I've already won

It's the same
Every day
And I toss and turn at night coz I got bills I need to pay
It's so cruel
I'm such a fool
For thinking there are prospects in something actually cool

I need a revolution
Coz I'm sick and dissolutioned
And I'll keep doing what I love
But I won't quit the day job

So thanks a lot for clicking and streaming my new song (oooo)
I wrote it in an evening, coz my feelings are so strong
Now tell me how I'm s'posed to
Afford my food and rent
When each time someone else new tunes in and listens
They pay me half a cent

It's the same
Stupid game
And I'm bored to death of playing and it's such a bloody shame
Coz I'm in love
But I've had enough
Of pouring my time into something that leaves me feeling rough

I need a revolution
Coz I'm sick and dissolutioned
And I'll keep doing what I love
But I won't quit the day job

I'm sorry for wasting
All your precious time
Guitar solos are so last year
And don't earn me a dime
I apologise for venting
I just wish things were more fair
But I'll keep making music til death do us part or my bank account is bare

I need a revolution
Coz I'm sick and dissolutioned
And I'll keep doing what I love
But I won't quit the day job
I need a revolution (I need a revolution)
Coz I'm sick and dissolutioned (So sick and dissolutioned)
And I'll keep doing what I love
But I won't quit the day job
