Soul Asylum is an American alternative rock band formed in the summer of 1981 by Minneapolis high school friends Dan Murphy, Karl Mueller, and Dave Pirner. The band (named Loud Fast Rules up until 1984) quickly became frontrunners of American college rock, following in the tradition of fellow Minnesota bands Hüsker Dü and The Replacements.
Landing their first record deal with Twin/Tone in 1984, Soul Asylum recorded a total of four albums for the local label: Say What You Will.

G Bm C G
Hold up in a dressing room without a dress
D C D
Kneeling at the confessional with nothing to confess
C
And I knew all about my surprised party
G Em
I was spoiled and depressed
G Bm
But I acted surprise and I told lots of lies
C G
Yes I did my best
G Bm
Stop the truck at the truck stop
C G
I need something to help me crash
D
Food stamp cheque and credit cards
C G
But they only accepted cash
C
That was sweat beating on my brow
G Em
My heart was beating out of my chest
G Bm
So I stole everything they couldn't give away
C G
Yes I did my best
G D
And I did the best that I could do
Bm
With all the mess that I've been through
D C
What did u expect me to do
Bm
I did my best for you
I was waiting for a chain reaction
With a missing link
Waiting for that trickle down
Forever circling the sink
I was tired of being tired
I could not get no rest
So I kept sleepwalking and talking in my sleep
Yes I did my best
And I did the best that I could do
With all the mess that I've been through
What did u expect me to do
I did my best for you
I did my best for you
I did my best for you
