"Don't Start A Band"
Don't start a band
Nobody wants to hear nobody understands
Don't start a band
You will be so disappointed that it was nothing like you planned
Don't start a band
Oh yea yea yea
I hate to ruin the magic
I hate to kill the dream
But once you've been behind the scenes then you'll know just what I mean
You might think that's it's cool to get up on the stage
And play rock and roll from your heart and soul
But when no one shows up and your songs all suck
And there's no applause and no flying bras
No girls will scream for you and no one's gonna sing along with you
Don't start a band
Nobody wants to hear nobody understands
Don't start a band
You will be so damn terrible they'll all think you're shitty and bland
Don't start a band
Oh yea yea yea
'cos you wont get paid
And you won't get laid
And even if you make it
All the way to MTV
I don't think you could take it
All the bullshit and the greed
Everyone is so fake when they shake your hand
And they kiss your a** 'cos you're making cash
And the business end will turn every friend
To an enemy oh you will see
They'll turn their backs and they'll be gone
Faster than you can say 'what did I do wrong?'
Don't start a band
Nobody really cares nobody understands
Don't Start a Band
You will sign your lives away and then you will be working for the man
Don't start a band oh yea yea yea
Your message will get lost
You will be double crossed
And if you think that the joy of playing
Will keep you going through the years
Wait till you're poor and frustrated
And the fun just disappears
Nobody cares what you have to say
And no one's gonna listen anyways
Rock and roll will bring you down
And it will kick you while you're on the ground
Don't start a band
Don't even try you will regret it yea
Don't start a band
You will be so disappointed that it was nothing like you planned
Don't start a band
Oh yea yea yea
So just give up now
Well I'll show you how
