https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=14214401They’ve got opinions about opinions But just one story to tell I'm too old to be a star I ain't got nuthin' to sell My guitar is outta’ tune It only has five strings Can’t play the damn thing anyway And nobody wants to hear me sing ‘Cause I suck! Yeah, I know I suck... All these lyrics keep me awake My dreams won't let me sleep Can’t type so I have to write Can’t see so I shouldn’t drink Yea’ I’m the one that won't shut up 'Cause the critics think they're smart With my long hair ‘n boxer shorts I’m a blasted work of art And i suck! Yeah, i know i suck... I think morons rule the radio Commercials are way too long Wanna’ tell me how to live Won't even play my song It’s like some cosmic joke Pills... 'cause pricks don't work But the tune in that advertisement Was played by this jerk... Ha! ‘Cause i suck! Yeah, I know I suck... I can't dance with Mary Jane Can't drink and sing the blues 'Cause my adoring public Says I gotta' follow rules You may wanna' think twice About the musical life you choose Songwriters are a dime-a-dozen And critics don't suffer fools Best advise I can give... Don't Suck!

I like this one - didn't suck at all. Frank Zappa meets ZZ Top - what could go wrong? Those descending chords before the .. ahem.. chorus.. are genius I like the tongue-firmly-planted-in-cheek attitude. Paul
