Tony Joe White
Hell of a Life (Original)
[Verse 1]
My unsung heroes are the pornstars
Turn the cameras on, she a born star
Turn the corners in a foreign car
Call the coroners, do the CPR
She gave that old n***a a ulcer
Her bittersweet taste made his gold teeth ache, uh
Make her knees shake, make a priest faint, uh
Make a nun cum, make her cremate, uh
Move downtown, cop a sweet space, uh
Livin' life like we won the sweepstakes, what?
We headed to hell for Hеaven's sakes, huh
Well, I'ma lеvitate, make the devil wait, yeah
[Chorus]
And you're right, and you're right
We signed up for a hell of a life
And you're right, and you're right
We signed up for a hell of a life
And you're right, and you're right
It's gon' be a hell of a night
[Verse 2]
Never in your wildest dreams
Never in your wildest dreams, in your wildest
You could hear the loudest screams
Comin' from inside the screen, you a wild bitch
Tell me what I gotta do to be that guy
Said her price go down, she ever fuck a black guy
Or do anal, or do a gangbang
It's kinda crazy that's all considered the same thing
Well, I guess a lotta n***as do gangbang
And if we run trains, we all in the same gang
Runaway slaves all on a chain gang
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
[Chorus]
And you're right, and you're right
We signed up for a hell of a life
And you're right, and you're right
We signed up for a hell of a life
And you're right, and you're right
It's gon' be a hell of a night
[Verse 3]
One day, I'm gon' marry a pornstar
We'll have a big-ass crib and a long yard
We'll have a mansion and some fly maids
Nothin' to hide, we both screwed the bridesmaids
She wanna roleplay 'til I roll over
I'ma need a whole day, at least roll doja
What are the pornstar dressin' for on Oscar day?
'specially if they can't get that dress from Oscar de
La Renta, they wouldn't rent her, they couldn't take the shame
Snatched the dress off her back and told her, "Get away"
The never-ending story of a pornstar
Then they never get the glory of the born stars
Then they never get the cash or the accolades
The only ones with no mask in this masquerade
Funny, the outcast of the mainstream
Be the same ones that flash in your daydreams
How could you say they live they life wrong?
When you never fuck with the lights on
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
And you're right, and you're right
We signed up for a hell of a life
And you're right, and you're right
We signed up for a hell of a life
And you're right, and you're right
It's gon' be a hell of a night
