Every working-class musician has felt this way at one time or another.

A guy, a guitar, and some great computer software that makes some rocking songs for your listening enjoyment.
Side FX is a five man band that has been playing live in the Hudson Valley area for more than 18 years. However, this site is the work of guitarist songwriter Moe Orrio, although I do get the other members of the band to sit in sometimes.

Story behind the song
I just thought that I should write down how I feel at times being a working-class musician, all the late nights and long rides home.
Lyrics
Sometimes I don’t think I can take it anymore Playing in these dirty bars, sometimes for the door Smoke filled rooms they burn my eyes, many people I despise Here I am, tonight again To Rock and Roll until the end Sometimes it gets me down, the long ride home Here I am going crazy sitting all alone The radio is playing, the morning man is saying “Is there anybody listening this early?” Yes my friend there’s always me Rock and Roll, it’s not an easy life Rock and Roll, can cut you like a knife So many things I could have done, long ago when I was young But Rock and Roll was the one Sometimes I’d like to start all over again A different life, no strings to bend No more minor chords to play, no more useless words to say No more pain from loading amps No more sweat from burning lamps Rock and Roll, it’s not an easy life Rock and Roll, can cut you like a knife So many things I could have done, long ago when I was young But Rock and Roll was the one
