Life Ain't No Rock~N~Roll Song
Dancing to a Different Tune

Spent your petty little life
Living through the loud music
Thriving on all that strife
To the point of being ageusic
Stunted your personal growth
Partying like some sixty-year-old teen
Anyone different, you loathe
While you claim never to be mean
Snottily snorting your white lines
Crushing beer cans to impress your friends
You’ve been showing all the signs
With each abuse you toss out, our love rends
Convincing yourself the lyrics were real
Using YouTube for marriage advice
Thinking every fake degree is the real deal
You’ve turned our love into a block of ice
Because of your paranoid fantasies
Making life harder on all involved
You’re mad I can’t supply a life of ease
Furious that I decided our union needed to be dissolved
Beating you to the punch, ending the torment
It’s past time for you to grow the fuck up
You are so immature, when you make a smartass comment
No, I’ve heard enough. It’s time for you to shut up
Dressed like some redneck, stuck in the eighties
Running around with the guys, spending your last dime
Thinking you're still as cool as you were in your twenties
You’ve left me to fend for us for the last time
You’re a rock & roll junkie with nothing to show
Too busy showing off for your cronies
You blew away your family buying blow
Your whole crew is a bunch of phonies

I know what you tried so desperately to hide
All the dirty little secrets, thinking you were so sly
I’ve kept quiet in the past, but this time you don’t slide
I’m sick of all your shit. It’s time for me to say bye
So, while you're stuck in a rock & roll song
Telling everyone that will listen that I am a whore
Just know that I am at peace, because I did nothing wrong
While I move on and heal, you can continue to feel sore
I don’t care anymore what you do
I’m dancing on, listening to a different tune
So while you're stuck in a rut, I’ll be doing stuff that’s new
Enjoying my new life, while dancing under a full moon
The song you’ll play from now on, I’ll no longer hear
While life rains on your parade, I’ve the luck of the Irish
I’m smelling the roses, absorbing the good vibes and cheer
When your life goes down the drain, I’ll be living as I wish
It doesn’t matter what you say anymore, anachronistic simp
I deserve more than some middle-aged burned-out punk
You’re crazier than five-dollar hillbilly pimp
I’m calling you out, you lowdown dirty lying skunk
With your accusations made, you’ve laid the ground
You’re nothing but a lowdown horn Dawg
You and your friends have been tomcatting around
Well, I refuse to live another day in your verbose smog
I’m heading out of the chaos, and I’m moving up
Nothing you say can hurt me now, my armor’s in place
Watching your life turn bitter, I’ll sip blessings from my cup
Because I’m erasing you from my life, leaving no trace
