Tone deaf - i can't play an instrument
Tone deaf - i can't even sing
Tone deaf - i have to wear ear plugs

The noise makes my ears ring
They told me when i was eleven
"you shouldn't even bother to try
You've got no musical ability"
And they weren't telling a lie

Tone deaf - i've got no rhythm
Tone deaf - i've got no pitch
Tone deaf - i couldn't hit an octave

If it meant that i'd get rich
All i can do is shout
Louder and faster than most
That's what i do for a living
Traveling coast to coast

Tone deaf - i don't have good meter
Tone deaf - i can't sing tremolo
Tone deaf - i've got poor register

You won't hear me sing falsetto
No, i can't hit those high notes
And i can't go real low
All in all i'm tone deaf
And everyone tells me so

Tone deaf
