Acquired Taste

CHORUS
i’m an acquired taste
might not appeal to you
i’m not at concert pitch
i’m an eclectic dude
don’t just assume to know
we don’t have time to waste
i’m not your average Joe
i’m an acquired taste

V
Some folks won’t acclimate
no matter what you do
so I can be in your face
or I can be calm and cool

if there’s a road to ruin
then I’ve been first in line
most of the things I do
usually turn out fine

Every once in a bit
things go wildly wrong
then once i’ve fixed that shit
I put it in this song

CHORUS
i’m an acquired taste
might not appeal to you
i’m not at concert pitch
i’m an eclectic dude
don’t just assume to know
we don’t have time to waste
i’m not your average Joe
i’m an acquired taste

V
although I can be obtuse
I might be what you need
I’ll help you win or lose
won’t be a part of concede

it’s hard to be black or white
we live in an age of spin
I ain’t gonna tolerate
I’ll never be might have been

CHORUS
i’m an acquired taste
might not appeal to you
i’m not at concert pitch
i’m an eclectic dude
don’t just assume to know
we don’t have time to waste
i’m not your average Joe
i’m an acquired taste

V
I’m always right up front
you’ll always know just how I feel
I’ll never be on the fence
cause I can be wrong with zeal

I’m tired of all this crap
I’m not gonna front your band
despite all your history
I’ve seen it all first hand

I don’t always speak my mind
that doesn’t mean I don’t care
but when that damn finally breaks
you better just beware

CHORUS
i’m an acquired taste
might not appeal to you
i’m not at concert pitch
i’m an eclectic dude
don’t just assume to know
we don’t have time to waste
i’m not your average Joe
i’m an acquired taste

V
i have been just this way
for probably quite some time
it’s too late to turn back now
I just gotta make it rhyme

if you got a sensitive ear
you better shut your eyes
cause some of the things you hear
will certainly chap your thighs

I don’t wear no corduroy
don’t play no silk and steel
I got a bone to pick
tryin to keep it real

I’m gonna be right up front
so you better watch your back
if you swerve left of right
I’ll yank you back on track

CHORUS
i’m an acquired taste
might not appeal to you
i’m not at concert pitch
i’m an eclectic dude
don’t just assume to know
we don’t have time to waste
i’m not your average Joe
i’m an acquired taste

V
I’m not a magic man
there’s nothing up my sleeve
don’t need to ascertain
the things that I believe

I keep the pocket deep
I always feel the groove
I’m not quite Dr. Gadd
but I can make you move

CHORUS
i’m an acquired taste
might not appeal to you
i’m not at concert pitch
i’m an eclectic dude
don’t just assume to know
we don’t have time to waste
i’m not your average Joe
i’m an acquired taste
