Friday night we got a gig in town
|
We're all reved up we're gonna get it on down
|
They're playing our song on the radio
|
We're dressed for the occasion and we're ready to go
|
|
Had a great pair of shoes i thought i had class
|
A brand new jacket but no backstage pass
|
Had to hurry up - to the stage i ran
|
And this big guy pushed me - said "no you can't"
|
|
But hey I'm in the band
|
Would it be so hard for you to understand
|
That I got work to do you better let me in man
|
Because I'm in the band
|
|
Paid our dues on the long way here
|
The van broke down but we don't give a care
|
The sun sets low and it's about time
|
So don't you treat me like committed a crime
|
|
Been here all day to soundcheck and eat
|
There's no way in hell that we didn't meet
|
There are rules to be followed yes I understand
|
And you're doing your job the best you can
|
|
But hey I'm in the band
|
Would it be so hard for you to understand
|
That I got obligations to my screaming female fans
|
Because I'm in the band
|
|
Yes I am
|
Do you understand
|
That I'm in the band, yeah
|
|
I may not look like Jagger
|
May not have money in the bank
|
I got a pair of cheap sunglasses
|
And my castle may be made of sand
|
|
But hey I'm in the band
|
And whitout me you have no girl to land
|
Because of me and my colleagues
|
You got wedding plans only 'cause I'm in the band
|
Yes I'm in the band
|
