Music As A Career Lyrics - Desert Oceans

I didn't listen when they said 

It's not a safe bet to be a musician 

A song was already in my head 

I'm not in a position to pretend 

I could ever be anything else 

I put the weight on myself 

I put the weight upon myself 

I'm not ashamed of myself 

I didn't bother to get a real job 

Should have listened to my father 

But I'm just a stubborn son of a daughter 

Of a son of the frontier 

When the right notes hit my ear 

I think of modern pioneers 

Superstitions disappear 

Hey man, what have we got to fear? 

Just pain, sadness, joy and cheer? 

Music as a career

I'm hungover again 

No money in the bank 

Not sure I have any friends 

This path that I've chosen 

The future's unfolding 

I know I'm washed up and old 

But I'll never give in 

I'll always be a musician 

Music as a career
