Hilltop Hoods Feat. Eamon – Show Business Lyrics

Sometimes I don’t see it so clear
When everything I need to know
Is right beneath my nose here
Sometimes I know that the show biz’
Will make me blow, I let go
Eyes closed and I don’t steer

Let the rollercoaster take me
Goin’ close to crazy
Maybe I should call it
If it’s all a broken daydream
Like peace and solidity
Please are you kiddin’ me
What, me quit and give up
All the free shit I didn’t need

I’m grateful to say
It gave me a stage
Maybe I was made for more
Than slavin’ cradle to grave
Without a place to escape
Woulda’ wasted away
Chasin’ a ray o’ sunshine
Upon the rainiest day

A smarter man would quit this while he’s sane
Bein’ addicted to the pain of livin’ in the game for so long
Like every bar I wrote formed a cage
If I could walk away I’d already be gone (oh, ooh)

What and quit show business
What kinda’ low is this
They say “Do what you love
And you’ll never work a day or a night”
Feel like I been workin’ my whole life
What and quit show business
What kinda’ low is this
They say “Do what you love
And you’ll never work a day or a night”
Feel like I been workin’ my whole life
And the horns go

Ba, ba, ba da, ba, ba,
Ba da, ba, ba da, ba,
Ba, ba da, ba, ba da,
Ba, ba, ba da, ba, ba, ba, ba

You’ll never hear me complain
So don’t get me wrong
I love what I do, I do, I do
Twenty years, and some change tho’
Been here so long
I’m married to the game, I do, I do
(So what’s up then)
Well nowadays, fans have too much access
To the point I had a man come to my address
To the point I hid a bat under my mattress
To the point I had to lance this rancid abscess

This business is tied to our phones
So this just keeps us tied to our phones
And I’m tired of my phone
So I’m retirin’ my phone
And all the sickness that resides in my phone

Look, don’t get me wrong son
I love to connect
But I just wanna write songs
They wanna come for my neck
And I got a young family I gotta protect
So Imma disconnect, love and respect

What and quit show business
What kinda’ low is this
They say “Do what you love
And you’ll never work a day or a night”
Feel like I been workin’ my whole life
What and quit show business
What kinda’ low is this
They say “Do what you love
And you’ll never work a day or a night”
Feel like I been workin’ my whole life
And the horns go

Ba, ba, ba da, ba, ba,
Ba da, ba, ba da, ba,
Ba, ba da, ba, ba da,
Ba, ba, ba da, ba, ba, ba, ba

And I don’t know
Where I go from here
The lights, the shows
They’re things I both hold dear
And I don’t know
Where I go from here
The lights and the shows
And the bars and the fights
It’s all I known for my whole life

What and quit show business
What kinda’ low is this
They say “Do what you love
And you’ll never work a day or a night”
Feel like I been workin’ my whole life
What and quit show business (What kinda’ low)
What kinda’ low is this (Do what you love)
They say “Do what you love
And you’ll never work a day or a night”
Feel like I been workin’ my whole life
And the horns go

Ba, ba, ba da, ba, ba
Ba da, ba, ba da, ba
