Lyrics The Devil Makes Three

The Devil Makes Three

Robot

One, two, one, two, three, four

Well ever since I was a baby

I dreamed I'd be a star

Playing in the crowds and stadiums and little smoky bars

Somehow somewhere along the way something didn't go according to plan

Something spun a little out of control

Something got a little out of hand

Cause if this is just business

I'll throw my guitar away

Said give me my ball back

I don't wanna play

Hey, what the hell is this?

You got me playing this dive

Said it's your way or the highway

And I'm too drunk to drive

Well I wrote a hit song once

To the tops of the charts it rose

People always screamed for it at every single show

It's got breaks in all the right places and it goes to a minor chord

'Bout the hundredth time I played it

I got a little bored

Cause I was drunk when I wrote it

And I don't like it half as much as I did then

Someday when I quit my job I'll never play that song again

Cause if this is just business

I'll throw my guitar away

Said give me my ball back

I don't wanna play

Hey, what the hell is this?

You got me playing this dive

Said it's your way or the highway

And I'm too drunk to drive

Well I got me a big old tour bus

And I got a guy that drives me around

I play the same set in every single town

I got a Mack truck for my instruments and another bus for my band

I don't know what state I'm in and I don't give a damn

Cause if this is just business

I'll throw my guitar away

Said give me my ball back

I don't wanna play

Hey, what the hell is this?

You got me playing this dive

Said it's your way or the highway

And I'm too drunk to drive
