Tekst piosenki 'I Am A Professional' wykonawcy Speechwriters LLC

Another night on Fairfax
Keeping a drink warm for a friend
This is beginning to feel like my home
Trying to pull my hair back
Watching the kids pile up and in
Like we're the only ones who came here alone

But none of this concerns you
You've got a job to do, you need no one to
Protect you from this Babylon's charms
The city lights can't burn you
Not with the state your freight's been in
And easy men like me can do you no harm

'Cause I am a professional
I hide behind this old guitar like it's a business card
And nothing that I say is for real
This is my confessional
You know that I've been in this game so long
That I've felt everything there is to feel

Another night on Sunset
Keeping a girl warm for a friend
This is beginning to feel like my life
She was getting upset
Watching the way I played my friends
'Til I convinced her everything was alright

But you would rise above this
You'd see my tricks for what they are in this disgusting bar
And leave before I knew that you'd came
We tell ourselves we love this
Chasing away the empty space
When it's the only thing that's keeping me sane

'Cause I am a professional
I hide behind this old guitar like it's a business card
And nothing that I say is for real
This is my confessional
You know that I've been in this game so long
That I've felt everything there is to feel

So call me what you will
I'm sure you've had your fill of people just like me
Who say, "I don't even know you, but I sure could use a love like yours"
Keep playing your chords
'Til they feel like they're chores
And sometimes a stage feels just like a cage
And you can't tell if someone's trying to fence you in
Or if they're trying to protect you from what's out there
And you don't know if you want to know what's out there

'Cause we are all professionals
