Tone Deaf

(album: Definition - 1992)

Tone deaf I can't play an instrument
Tone deaf I can't even sing
Tone deaf I have to wear ear plugs

The noise makes my ears ring
They told me when I was eleven
"You shouldn't even bother to try
You've got no musical ability"
And they weren't telling a lie

Tone deaf I've got no rhythm
Tone deaf I've got no pitch
Tone deaf I couldn't hit an octave

If it meant that I'd get rich
All I can do is shout
Louder and faster than most
That's what I do for a living
Traveling coast to coast

Tone deaf I don't have good meter
Tone deaf I can't sing tremolo
Tone deaf I've got poor register

You won't hear me sing falsetto
No, I can't hit those high notes
And I can't go real low
All in all I'm tone deaf
And everyone tells me so

Tone deaf
