Mudvayne - Dull Boy Lyrics






All work and no play makes me a dull boy..
All work and no play makes me a dull boy..
All work and no play makes me a dull boy..
All work and no play makes me a dull boy!!

Live in a secret
Live in a lie
Live in a dark hole beneath the black sky
Live like a martyr and draw my last breath
Feel like an old man with a knife in my chest

Live like a Transian
Live like a thief
Hide in your closet, grinding my teeth
Sit in a small room with the walls closing in
Open the shutters but everythings still dim

Payback
For all the things
I've done in my past

Payback
For everything
There are no take backs

[Chorus:]
I'm not the reason
Its not my fault
Its not my problem
I'm not the cause

I'm not your scapegoat
I'm not your god
I'm not your martyr
I'd leave you all

I'm not the reason - (I'm not your scapegoat)
It's not my fault - (I'm not your god)
It's not my problem - (I'm not your martyr)
I'm not the cause - (I'd leave you all)

All work and no play makes me a dull boy

Feel like a clown without my funny nose
Walk to the window break it out with my fist
Jump from the sill and I'll plunge to my death
You can be selfish whatever you think
Throw back my pills and take a sip of my drink

Walk under the clouds
Walk under the trees
Always again envy covering me

Payback
For all the things
I've done in my past

[Chorus]

Sunshines gone
It's all gone

By the way just so you know
Always this is how I feel

By the way just so you know
Always everyday this is how I feel

I'm not the reason
It's not my fault
It's not my problem
I'm not the cause
I'm not your scape goat (I'm not your scape goat)
I'm not your god (I'm not your god)
I'm not your martyr (I'm not your martyr)

This is how I feel (this is how I feel)

By the way just so you know
Always everyday this is how I feel

    Chad Gray... my all time favorite frontman.

  2. C.... M....

    Anyone else think of Charlie Manson while listening to this?

  3. e.... d....

    I thought only slipknot had made a music video with references to The Shining

  4. n.... 8....

    "All work and no play, makes me a Del Boy".

  5. X.... A....

    I'm not the reason

  10. M.... F....

    The Shining brought me here 😅

  11. G.... ....

    That bass, tho...

  12. M.... L....

    I think of a woman singing this to me Everytime I hear it. I'd sit and stare at your screaming mouth as you stab this guilt out of me over and over..

  13. C.... ....

    Was this song and video inspired by The Shining?

  14. S.... D....

    Awesome🤘🔥

  15. R.... M....

    This video fits perfectly with the song.




    Also gives me a sense of early 2000's feel, I wasen't really born by then, but I can feel the nostalgia from the music I listen to.

  16. L.... G....

  20. R.... S....

    This video is awesome and great song.
    I was in a state hospital for a year and the lyrics I can relate to and expresses how I feel inside..

  29. d.... s....

    Never heard this one from them, I wish they would come back and do a tour of LD-50. I saw them when they were touring that album and it was so fuckin good. I even met them after the show, Ryan gave my gf one of his bracelets and we got a towel with his facepaint on it(cool at the time but looking back its kinda weird)XD. Chad had an ice pack on his head but still came out and signed some autographs, thats back when he would bash his head onstage every show.

  30. m.... l....

  31. O.... S....

  41. M.... Y....

    M.... Y....

    🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

  42. M.... J....

    Yeah. Video is pretty budget but I never noticed until people decided that was the focus. It jives perfectly with the song though...

  43. A.... G....

    All Mudvayne (aka too much time around Matt the douchebag drummer) made Chad a dull boy.

  44. J.... H....

    no paint... caught me off a bit

  45. N.... ....

    This is a strangely 70s music video

  46. G.... S....

    Still hoping for a mudvayne reunion

  47. E.... 5....

    When momma lets you make a music video

  48. G.... K....

    Not sure how I feel about Chad with a mustache

  50. V.... C....

  51. T.... W....

    God damn I love that bass in this song

  52. y.... ....

    This music video was a national project competition btw. That’s why it looks like shit 😂

  53. C.... ....

    I loved Mudvayne and this song is pretty sweet but this video is pretty dumb. lol almost looks like they had like $25 in the budget. lmao

    C.... ....

    This video was created by a fan because they all recorded themselves in front of a green screen and had a contest, this was the one that won

  54. L.... P....

    This video looks like an ICP movie.

  55. M.... C....

    2019 🤘🏻Come back Mudvayne, it's reunion time🤘🏻 Make more awesome music❤️😎

  56. C.... P....

    This was made on my birthday

  57. A.... ....

  58. J.... M....

    One band thats not around anymore that is ironically bringing revelance to how i feel right now

  64. N.... D....

    Jack nicolson , shinning

  65. P.... G....

    And I think the Video looks perfect!

  66. P.... G....

    I love this song, the beginning makes me cringe a little but I'm learning to get used to it and for the longest time I thought he was saying "BAAAAABAAAAAAYYY!!"

  67. S.... ....

    the beginning of an ultimate downfall, how can one waste all of that potential? Oo

    S.... ....

    a song like cradle was made before that shit, how can i even compare that... it seems like it´s two different bands with two different mindsets... i mean come on i haven´t heard of a comparable intense album like "ld 50" or "the end of all things to come" and then they gonna really release that shit?^^ usually bands get better by every album but this is just the opposite... there won´t be another band that´s capable of putting out genius masterpieces like those "ld 50"s, i just don´t understand why they felt to put out shallow shit that sounds like everyone else... i just don´t get it...

  68. S.... S....

    1:31 Damnn those chugging thrash metal riffs are pretty badass!!

  69. g.... s....

    Ill never forget my past because of music. This song was my song in 08 when I wanted to slip away an never come back.

  70. E.... D....

    I really don't fucking like their bass guitarist!!

  71. M.... R....

    b**** b**** b**** I've been old school since the 80s you youngins think you know it all but I do give Mudvayne credit yes they should make a come back doll boy is my most favorite I've lived My Life by that song being a working person

  72. m.... X....

    To be completely honest, I actually really love how the video turned out. It kind of matches what's going on in the video and the song. It's messy, musky, smudged, and out of focus. It gives that kind of eerie feel to it and the emotion. Every instrument in this song is brilliant!!❤❤❤

  73. v.... ....

    All work and no play makes me a dull boy..
    All work and no play makes me a dull boy..
    All work and no play makes me a dull boy..
    All work and no play makes me a dull boy!!
