Matey Boy Lyrics

I saw an old boy and he said to me

All you ever do is sit and play the guitar

I said what's it gotta do with you as long as I'm happy?

He said you need to earn some money or you ain't gonna have a good time

So I said to him what has life brought for you?

All this money and you're miserable and lonely

Oh matey Boy, don't you tell me what to do

I don't give a damn what life has brought to you

Oh matey Boy, I've had enough of your tongue

Ain't gonna listen to you so I guess I'll see ya in hell

He said why do you talk that way to everyone?

I said I'm done being pushed around by everyone else

It's time for me to stand up for what I believe in

I don't ask for much but they always have a problem with me

But life ain't gonna wait for you

I don't need to stay a long time, just wanna have a good time

Oh matey Boy, don't you tell me what to do

I don't give a damn what life has brought to you

Oh matey Boy, I've had enough of your tongue

Ain't gonna listen to you so I guess I'll see ya in hell

He wonders everyday when I'm gonna get paid

And I said to him, what has money brought for you?

He said I used to have it all but it faded away

You can't miss what you never had

And now you're just grumpy and sad

Get a life that's what he said

Do something better instead

I said I'd rather be dead

Yeah!

Oh matey Boy, don't you tell me what to do

I don't give a damn what life has brought to you

Oh matey Boy, I've had enough of your tongue

Ain't gonna listen to you so I guess I'll see ya in hell

Yeah!

Oh matey Boy, oh matey Boy

See you soon
