Don't Start a Band

Don't start a band

Nobody wants to hear, nobody understands

Don't start a band

You'll be so disappointed that it was nothing like you planned

Don't start a band

Oh, yeah yeah yeahI 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 its cool to get up on stage

And play rock and roll from your heart and soul

But no one shows up and your songs all suck

And there's no applause and no flying carsNo girls will scream for you

And no ones gonna stay in love with youDon'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 your shitty

Don't start a band

Oh, yeah yeah yeah

'Cause you wont get paid

And you won't get laid

Yeah yeahAnd 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 you hand

And they kiss your ass 'cause then they get cash

And the business end will turn every friend

To an enemy, oh you will seeThey'll turn their their backs and they'll be gone

Faster than 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'll be working for the man

Don't start a band

Oh, yeah yeah yeah

Your message will get lost

You'll get double crossedAnd if you that the joy of playing

Will keep you going through the years

Wait till you poor and frustrated

And the fun just disappears

Nobody cares what you have to say

And no ones gonna listen anywaysRock and roll will bring you down

And it will kick you while your on the groundDon't start a band

Don't even try you will regret it, yeah

Don't start a band

You'll be so disappointed that it was nothing like you planned

Don't start a band
