Lyrics

It's hard to live in obscurity
When you're known for free music globally
And you can't tell your family what you do
Because it sounds so uncool
"You're a musician but you're not in a band?"
"I don't understand"
"What's a license"
"What's copyright?"
Kevin MacLeod is no household name
Even though everybody knows it
Kevin MacLeod's work is never done
But nobody knows how to pronounce it

As we drive down the freeway
My mom tells me she loves the music
And she asks me
"Who is it?"
And I tell her
"Kevin MacLeod"

I can't help but smile
Because it's so typical
The most famous musician in the world
Is not famous at all
I can't help but smile
Because it's so typical
The most famous musician in the world
Is not famous at all

And I know that the mainstream is dying
But they still wanna put me on their TV shows
And I'm flattered and I'm grateful
But I have to say no
Because Kevin MacLeod is not a sellout
He just wants to make his music
Kevin MacLeod is an underground artist
That is known by everybody

And as we drive down the freeway
My mom tells me she loves the music
And she asks me
"Who is it?"
And I tell her
"Kevin MacLeod"

I can't help but smile
Because it's so typical
The most famous musician in the world
Is not famous at all
I can't help but smile
Because it's so typical
The most famous musician in the world
Is not famous at all
