I’m Not Hot Enough Lyrics by Ben Visini

I Need An Outlet

2021

[Stolen From Ben Visini's Bandcamp]
[VERSE 1]
“Look at him go”
You’re thinking as you’re watching me, used to be
A chubby freaky nerd in school
Well look at me now
I’m no longer in school
Yes, I was told
This career is a battlefield, I should yield
I will never be a star
Well I hate to admit, but I think, they were right
I’ll never go far
And it’s so tough to make a living off of doing what I do
And I know I’ll never make it
Even with luck, even with skill
I could still never climb the highest hill
And that's that
[Chorus]
I’m not hot enough
To make a living off of playing music
I’m not nearly hot enough
To make a living off of playing music
That’s why they tell mе “Ben, oh dear
You’d do so much bettеr as a music engineer”
Thanks
Yeah they make more money
But that’s not why you think I should stop
It’s cause you think I’m not hot
[VERSE 2]
Have you ever seen a hot music engineer before?
(I didn't think so
Alright, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please turn it back on
Thank you)
And there’s everyone
Who is telling me that I should quit, stay and sit
Can’t see my face in the pit, no
You might think people pity me cause they feel sorry
They are
Well life is an audition
You need confidence, that’s why this song is meant
To be my way of fishing
All of you for compliments
Give them to me - now
I don’t care if you fake it
I’m so fragile that I’ll take it
Anything to distract from the fact I’ll never make it
All because
[Chorus]
I’m not hot enough
To make a living off of playing music
I’m not nearly hot enough
To make a living off of playing music
Part of the product is the sexuality
You can’t make a living on a good personality
Which I also don’t have
But why get one now? The point of it would be lost
Yeah
[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
[BRIDGE]
And I said
No, you don’t know what’s best for me
Though, I appreciate the honesty
In telling me
[Chorus]
That I’m not hot enough
To make a living off of playing music
I’m not nearly hot enough
To make a living off of playing music
I’m not hot enough
To make a living off of playing music
Who cares if I am hot enough
My life is mine, I’ll live it how I choose it
Cause I am smart enough
To make a living off of playing music
I am talented enough
To make a living off of playing music
I am strong enough
To make a living off of playing music
Just gotta be confident enough
To make a living, to make a living, to make it
