Forging this sound in 2001, Tub Ring has been a force of nature in the left-of-center world of music, building momentum and inertia with every day that passes. The band's first album of avant-garde pop, Drake Equation, was produced by Mr. Bungle's Trey Spruance. Since, Tub Ring has released a total of 4 albums and a DVD/B-Side double pack.

With each album charting into double digits on the CMJ Top 200, Tub Ring's music has also been featured on Fox Sports, Xbox 360's "Amp Snow Boarder 3", various MTV/MTV2 programs, Spike and Mike's Twisted Animation films, and several Mt. Dew commercials. Most recently, Tub Ring played live in the TRL room on MTV2, and was featured in the MTV reality based contest show "Dew Circuit Breakout".

Tub Ring has created an enormous underground market with their bizarre genre of spazzed pop rock, with no financial help, no manager, NOTHING... except hard work, non-stop touring, and inventive song writing with intelligent lyrics. Clocking in at over 150 shows per year from 2001 to 2009 throughout North America, Europe and Japan, there are few bands that can match Tub Ring's determination and commitment to music. Touring partners include Mindless Self Indulgence, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Kill Hannah, Dog Fashion Disco, Clutch, Karate High School, Black Light Burns, Foxy Shazam!, and more!

She's the Pro
Tub Ring Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

First We Made Plans
And Price Was Just A Fee
Then I Looked At Her
And She Looked Back At Me

Soon I Frequent
A World Made In My Head
Sometimes The Truth Is

Better Left Un
Better Left Unsaid

Soon The Cash Is Gone
And I'm Less Of A Man
'til It Occurred To Me
What Seemed The Perfect Plan

She'll Be So Proud
When She Hears What I Have To Say
That I'm Making Money
In The Same Demeaning Way
That's Right

With Myself
I Will Achieve
Sold A Soul
But The Ends
Justify The Means

Now The Calls Come In
And I Make Up My Loss
Seems Empowering Being My Own Boss
Sure We're Based On What
The Week Will Earn
But While I'm Her Student
There's So Much To
There's So Much To Learn

While I'm Making Money
It Seems I'm Making Progress
You Can't Imagine How Much
This Means To Me

And While I'm Making Money
It Seems I'm Making Progress
You Can't Imagine How Much
This Means To Me

And While I'm Making Money
It Seems I'm Making Progress
You Can't Imagine How Much
This Means To Me

And While I'm Making Money
It Seems I'm Making Progress
You Can't Imagine How Much
This Means To Me

With Myself
I Will Achieve
Sold A Soul
But The Ends
Justify The Means

I'm The Amateur
She's The Pro

I'm The Amateur
She's The Pro

I'm The Amateur
She's The Pro

I'm The Amateur
She's The Pro

Overall Meaning

The song "She's the Pro" by Tub Ring speaks about a man who is caught up in a world of his own making, where he has planned out his life but realizes that money is a significant challenge. He decides to take a demeaning job which he finds empowering, and he tells himself that the means justify the ends. This decision causes him to lose his self-respect, but he is still proud of the fact that he is earning money.

The lyrics express a sense of desperation, where the singer is willing to sell his soul to make money. He is aware that this decision will reduce him as a person and make him less of a man. It is intriguing to note that, despite his decision, he still seeks validation from the woman in his life. He believes that she will be proud of him, and for this reason, he chooses to continue in his job, making enough money to get by.

In conclusion, "She's the Pro" portrays the story of a man who is willing to do anything to make money, including taking up a demeaning job. Through the song, the artist depicts the idea that sometimes what seems to be a perfect plan may not be as perfect as it appears.
