[Verse 1: Pressure & Eamon]
Sometimes I
Don't see it so clear when everything I need
And know's right beneath my nose here, sometimes I
Know that this showbiz will make me blow, I let go, eyes closed and I don't steer
Let the rollercoaster take me, going close to crazy
Maybe I should call it if it's all a broken daydream
Like peace and solidity, please, are you kidding me?
What, me quit and give up all the free shit I didn't need?
I'm grateful to say it gave me a stage
Maybe I was made for more than slavin' cradle to grave
Without a space to escape would of wasted away
Chasing a ray of sunshine upon the rainiest day (Oh, yeah)
A smarter man would quit this while he's sane, been addicted
To the pain of living in the game for so long
Like every bar I wrote formed a cage, if I could
Walk away I'd already be gone (Oh, woo-ooh-ooh)
[Chorus: Eamon]
What, and quit show business?
What kind of low is this?
They say do what you love and you'll never work a day or a night
Feel like I've been working my whole life
What, and quit show business?
What kind of low is this?
They say do what you love and you'll never work a day or a night
Feel like I've been working my whole life, and the horns go
[Post-Chorus: Eamon]
Ba-ba-ba-da-ba-ba
Ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba
Ba-ba-da-ba-ba-da
Ba-ba-ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba
[Verse 2: Suffa & Eamon]
You’ll never hear me
Complain so don’t get me wrong, I
Love what I do, I do, I do, twenty years and
Some change though, been here so long
I’m married to the game, I do, I do (So what’s up then?)
Well, nowadays fans have too much access
To the point, I had a man come to my address
To the point, I hid a bat under my mattress
To the point, I had to lance this rancid abscess
This business is tied to our phones
And this just keeps us tied to our phone
And I’m tired of my phone so I’m retiring my phone
And all the sickness that resides in my phone, look
(Woah-woah-oh-oh)
Don’t get me wrong, son, I love to connect
(Woah-woah-oh-oh)
But I just wanna write songs, they wanna come for my neck
(Woah-woah-oh-oh)
And I got a young family I gotta protect
(Woah-woah-ooh)
So I'ma disconnect, love and respect
[Chorus: Eamon]
What, and quit show business?
What kind of low is this?
They say do what you love and you'll never work a day or a night
Feel like I've been working my whole life
What, and quit show business?
What kind of low is this?
They say do what you love and you'll never work a day or a night
Feel like I've been working my whole life, and the horns go
[Post-Chorus: Eamon]
Ba-ba-ba-da-ba-ba
Ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba
Ba-ba-da-ba-ba-da
Ba-ba-ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba
[Bridge: Eamon]
And I don't know
Where I go from here
The lights, the shows
They're things I both hold dear
And I don't know-oh
Where I go from here, haha
The lights and the shows and the bars and the flights
Is all I've known my whole life
[Chorus: Eamon]
What, and quit show business?
What kind of low is this?
They say do what you love and you'll never work a day or a night
Feel like I've been working my whole life
What, and quit show business?
What kind of low is this?
They say do what you love and you'll never work a day or a night
Feel like I've been working my whole life, and the horns go
[Outro: Eamon]

What did Hilltop Hoods say about "Show Business"?
The idea for ‘Show Business’ came from something my buddy Dools used to say to me whenever he’d call me on the road. I’d inevitably be stuck at a gas station in the middle of nowhere with a hangover whenever he’d call, weeks away from getting home and he’d always laugh and say ‘What, and quit show b...
What did feature artist Eamon have to say about the song?
It’s a smash song, and I think many people will love it for years to come. It was an enjoyable experience making the song. The guys are easy to work with and they’re super talented, which makes everything go smoother. I say this with all honesty, Hilltop Hoods are a class act. I consider them friend...
What acclaimed Blue Tongue Films director Nash Edgerton said about the visuals?
I totally relate to the sentiment of the song, that no matter what ups and downs this business throws at us, what else would we do? The concept for the video was to cast the Hoods as ultimate kids’ entertainers in a world where kids rule. Pitting kids and clowns against each other was even more fun...
What has Pressure added about the visuals?
‘Show Business’ is a song about the trials of having a lifetime career within the music industry. This is probably my favourite clip of ours, despite looking like a serial killer dressed as a clown. Nash Edgerton killed it; we were super pumped he agreed to do another clip with us after working on “...
