I Quit Lyrics

Album: I Quit

(Tom)

Things were very different in metal's early year

You could leave your day job and forge a new career

But now a good show means some pizza and nine bucks

This sucks

So I've been thinking hard and I've come to a decision about this shit

I QUIT!

Seven hours in a bar

Every night of tour is not my idea of fun

I like travelling with my pals, but enough,

hell with this, I'm done

I could be sitting at home with Netflix, relaxing

while I draw up some art

Instead of being miserable and breathing in your smoke

while bashing my head apart

Dudes are sick of listening to me whine

These guys want to tour all of the time

I'll run things behind the scenes

and write more songs but as for shows,

You're out of luck, find someone who's a better fit

'Cause you know what? I QUIT!

(Nick)

Tom, come on, you can't leave the band

This is your baby, I don't understand

(Tom)

We're going in different directions, this blows,

I don't like bars and I don't like shows.

(Mike)

People won't come if they won't see your face!

You're the main draw, you can't be replaced

(Tom)

That's bullshit, people just like the songs

It doesn't matter who does the screaming, you're wrong

I would stay if this paid like a job

But I miss my home, I miss my dog

I wish you the best, I wish you well

but from now on find someone else

(Brian)

Please stay, no one else could stir up such a pit

(Tom)

Yeah that's true... but I told you already

I QUIT! (x5)

I'M OUT! I'M GONE! I'M THROUGH! I'M DONE! I QUIT!

QUIT! QUIT!

(What if we get a big show in Japan or something?)

(Oh! Maybe...)
