[Verse 1]
Friday night we got a gig in town
We're all revved up, we're gonna get 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"
[Chorus]
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
'Cause I'm in the band
[Verse 2]
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 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
