The Hellacopters - I'm in the Band lyrics

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 cla** A brand new jacket but no backstage pa** 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 I commited 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 underdtand 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 I may not look like jagger May not have money in the bank I got a pair of cheap sungla**es And my castle may be made of sand But hey i'm in the band And without me you'd 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
