d.r.i. - tone deaf lyrics

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
