I had a problem difficult to find a solution for
in a difficult time of my life
I was between a rock and a hard place
and having to endure the opinion of my family.
I didn't want a normal life
I didn't like the working hours
my unruly spirit was making fun
of money, luxury and comfort.
And I had a revelation
now I know what I want in this life
I will follow my vocation
music will be my home (lit. roof) and my food.
Because I don't wanna work
I don't wanna go study, I don't wanna get married
I wanna play the guitar all day long
and for people to fall in love with my voice.
Because I don't wanna work
I don't wanna go study, I don't wanna get married
and in my head I was hearing the voice of my father
sounding like a drum.
You'd better shave
you'd better grow up, you'd better go to work
I am sick of you drinking my beer
I will hit you with the guitar in the head.
You'd better shave
you'd better grow up, you'd better go to work
I am sick and tired of being your money source
I will make you wear that guitar as a hat.
