Growing up, I had it rough
|
Although I hated work it taught me just enough
|
To know there ain't no application for the job that I've been chasin'
|
And I'm looking for a diamond in the rough
|
And as it seems to me that if it was just a phase
|
It would've passed around eighteen (but it didn't
|
And I'm in it past the point of giving in-
|
So make your wages place your bets
|
And shut your mouths about regrets and how we're screwed)
|
You climb the rung, I'll keep my head
|
And I'll take all the crap you're giving me instead
|
"Cause we'll be driving to a show while you'll be working at the store
|
And checking out some lady buying Wonder Bread.
|
And as it seems to me that there are alot of cool jobs
|
But just a few that interest me
|
I never wanted to work inside a shop as a clerk
|
Or build my pension plan by being a company man
|
I want to be in a band,
|
I want to make the supply and then create the demand,
|
I want to be in a band,
|
My parents still don't understand
|
Just add it up, you'll see the crux
|
From all our arguments we've gathered just enough
|
To know we're quicker than a hare and smarter then the average bear
|
And just because itself is reason just enough
|
And as it seems to me that sheer volume of pay
|
Is not a gauge of self-esteem,
|
I never wanted to work inside a shop as a clerk
|
Or build my pension plan by being a company man,
|
I want to be in a band
|
We've got a penchant for fun and groove for everyone
|
I want to be in a band,
|
If you're concerned with the odds you'd better never begin
|
Veterinarian, garbage man or public speaking from a stand
|
Or pulling teeth or sweeping streets are all real cool
|
And need to be done,
|
But not, by me
|
I want to be in a band (black coffee and wrong turns)
|
I want to make the supply and create the demand
|
I want to be in a band (banned from all the big clubs)
|
Supply side economics fit to make you happy
|
Be in a band (beer, drinking, and mayhem)
|
We've got a penchant for fun and groove for everyone
|
I want to be in a band (bandanas and make-up)
|
My children still don't understand, yeah.
