Lyrics

Another dawn, another day
Another dollar to be made
I've got a pocket in my soul
Where a little rock, a little roll, assimilate

And I don't care what you think you know
Bout who I am and how it goes
I made it easy to be me
So yeah, it's easy to be me
And that's why I say

I know you can't stand me
Cause I make you so angry
More and more each day
Hey, hey, hey
The way you don't love me
Kinda makes you look ugly
Every word you say
Hey, hey, hey
Come up and see me
Ho, ho, ho
I kinda like the abuse
There's no room in my bed
But while you're here
Just bow your head
And you can shine my shoes
Shine my shoes

Get out of my lane, boy
You're not in my league
Some are born to thrive
And some to underachieve

Here's something that'll make you sick
I'm as happy as a pig in shhh-
I've been amused, I've been admired
I've been amazed, I've been betrayed
That's why I say

I know you can't stand me
Cause I make you so angry
More and more each day
Hey, hey, hey
The way you don't love me
Kinda makes you look ugly
Every word you say
Hey, hey, hey
Come up and see me
Ho, ho, ho
If you can take the abuse
There's no room in my band
But while you're here, then lend a hand
And you can shine my shoes

Shine my shoes
Kneel down, boy

It's why you can't stand me
I make you so angry
More and more each day
Hey, hey, hey
The way you don't love me
Kinda makes you look ugly
Every word you say
Hey, hey, hey
Come up and see me
Ho, ho, ho
I kinda like the abuse
There's no room in my bed
But while you're here
Then bow your head
And you can shine my shoes
Shine my shoes
Shine my shoes
Until I see my face
