Now I'm not saying we're unhappy 

Being classified as simply a punk-ska band 

And sure you think these groups are crappy 

That this many screaming teenage girls is out of hand 

That's right I'm talkin' 'bout the boys bands 

And I'm confessing, we're jealous of what they have it's true 

I mean no disrespect to our fans 

Rather I'm pleading to make our pop-star dreams come true 

Please grant us boy band status 

Put our posters on your wall 

Please grant us boy bands status 

We just want to be loved that's all 

For me it started with the new kids 

They were my favorite I still know the words 

to Hangin' Tough 

Though all my friends thought they were stupid 

I was smitten I truly thought they had the right stuff 

Then boys to men came out of Philly 

They sang so soulfully I'd never before wanted 

so much to be black 

Though retrospectively it seems silly 

That's when i decided to point my life down 

the boy band track. 

Now I don't know what to think about N'Sync 

And I don't get all this noise, 'bout the Backstreet Boys 

No i don't dig what they do but i think we could do it too 

So i'm begging you I'm down on my knees 

Oh please
