In A Band Lyrics

In A Band lyrics

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.
