"Just A Hobby"
Words and Music by Hair Knight
Appears on Pied Piper
People say my music is not what they expected.
They don't like my chords, they don't like my style.
I think they've misunderstood the concept.
It's not supposed to be Sistine ceiling tiles.
All I'm doing is goofing around.
It may not be catchy and it may not rock.
Understand this and you don't have to listen.
I'm H.E. Knight, not J.S. Bach
This is just a hobby. I'm not gonna quit my day job.
I'm not Elvis Presley. I'm not gonna be a drugged up slob.
I'm not frank Sinatra. I don't have any friends in the mob.
This is just a hobby. I'm not gonna quit my day job.
Who in the world is the troubled child?
What the hell does Pied Piper mean?
Does the MirrorMan date Barbara Ann?
Why write a song about a Fallen Hippy?
What does chocolate have to do with conformity?
How can you have a dance song that's so slow?
That was really cruel about the girls in your school
Listen up, people, don't you know that
This is just a hobby. I'm not gonna quit my day job.
I'm not Elvis Presley. I'm not gonna be a drugged up slob.
I'm not frank Sinatra. I don't have any friends in the mob.
This is just a hobby. I'm not gonna quit my day job.
Why would anyone write a backwards song?
Is that supposed to be deep? Supposed to be art?
How do I find an interesting rhyme here?
"I don't want to go on the cart!"
I thought this was supposed to be a concept album,
How come none of the songs make sense?
Nonsense is the answer. Said Dancer to Prancer,
"Don't get so intense."
This is just a hobby. I'm not gonna quit my day job.
I'm not Elvis Presley. I'm not gonna be a drugged up slob.
I'm not frank Sinatra. I don't have any friends in the mob.
This is just a hobby. I'm not gonna quit my day job.
