Goldfish Bowl

(album: You're Driving Me Crazy - 2018)

What will it take for them to leave it alone?
Don't they understand I'm just a guy who sings songs?

I got no hit record
Man, I don't do no TV shows, no TV shows
And I don't have no reason to
Live in a goldfish bowl

I'm just doing my gigs
And I'm on and off the road
Everything I say is not meant to be
Taken like set in stone
'Cause they call me a celebrity
Baby, that doesn't mean it's true
Doesn't mean it's true
'Cause I don't believe in any myth, people
So why should you?

I'm singing jazz, blues, and funk, some rock and roll
Folk music with a beat and a whole lot of soul

I ain't got no hit record
Man, I don't do no TV shows, no TV shows
And I don't have no reason to
Live in a goldfish bowl, goldfish bowl

Well there's parasites and psychic vampires
Preying on the... public at large
Casting their dark shadow
Onto everyone else
And the media barons
Play on a lower key
And they prey on everybody
Prey on you and me

I'm singing jazz, blues, and funk, some rock and roll
Folk music with a beat and a whole lot of soul

I, I, I ain't got no hit record
Man, I don't do no TV shows, no TV shows
So I ain't got no reason to
Live in a goldfish bowl
No reason, no reason, no reason

So I ain't got no reason to
Live in a goldfish bowl
Good evening, friends
