The Arrogant Worms - Life On The Road lyrics

The life of the artist may seem like fun to you That's cause you don't know the hell that we go through Waking up at noon working an hour every day And every now and then having to go on tour and play But it is almost worth it when we finally appear At the best place in the world, insert your town name here Me and my comrades Are rock n' roll nomads So hot we might explode Or get really sweaty, that's life on the road We do it for the children and for the elderly too And 'cause we really, really, really, really like you And we do it for the money and 'cause we're slobs Who are unqualified for any paying jobs While you're working nine to five spare a thought for us As we're sitting watching DVD's on our fancy bus Getting a ma**age From our ma**euse, Lars I'm developing a roll From all this rich food, that's life on the road Life on the road (I think it's time for my afternoon nap) Life on the road (where the hell did I put that map) Life on the road (sometimes it's hard to find a good salad) Life on the road (and that's why we're singing this power ballad) We can try to tell you but you'll never understand The hell of being wealthy and having lots of fans So we hope you're happy putting us through hell Because of you we get to stay in really nice hotels We sacrifice ourselves bringing joy into your lives And to sell this crap we've got for you to buy Stealing toiletries From the room before we leave Then to another town we go After a continental breakfast, that's life on the road Life on the road It's hot and it's cold Like pie a la mode There's no life like it, life on the road
