Album: And Justice for None (2018)

  • I never cared about the money never really needed fame
    You think it would've changed me, but I've always stayed the same
    The label tried to sue me, TMZ tried to screw me
    Blabbermouth can fuck itself 'cause they never fucking knew me
    Everybody seems like they're waiting for me to die
    Talk shit behind my back, can't look me in the eye
    They say I'm overrated, that I should've already faded
    Give a shit about it all 'cause I love to be so hated

    All in all it's a good life I got what I want
    I can't complain (I can't complain)
    I'm living the good life a toast to you now
    It's all sham pain (it's all sham pain)

    I barely get to eat and when I finally get to sleep
    I get drug out of bed for another meet-and-greet
    I shake the hand of every fan, put on a happy face
    Spread so fucking thin, I'm all over the place
    I hate riding on the bus (I) hate flying in the planes
    Sedate myself just to kill the pain
    I have no life forgot the hope
    The whole thing's turned into one big joke

    All in all it's a good life I got what I want
    I can't complain (I can't complain)
    I'm living the good life a toast to you now
    It's all sham pain (it's all sham pain)

    I mean no disrespect, but I ain't picking up the check
    Taking selfies on your phone while you're breathing down my neck
    It's getting pretty fucking old and I'm almost nearly done
    I'm glad that you were happy, here's another number one

    I'm living the good life a toast to you now
    It's all sham pain
    All and all it's a good life I got what I want
    I can't complain (I can't complain)
    I'm living the good life a toast to you now
    It's all sham pain (it's all sham pain) Writer/s: Ivan Lewis Greening, Jeremy Spencer Heyde, Kevin Gregory Churko, Thomas Jason Grinstead, Zoltan Bathory
