Don't start a band

No body wants to hear no body 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 yea yea yea



I 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 bras

No girls will scream for you and no ones gonna sing along with you



Don't start a band

No body 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 yea yea yea

'cause you wont get paid

And you won't get laid



And 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 see



They'll turn their their backs and they'll be gone

Faster than can say 'what did I do wrong'



Don't start a band

No body 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 yea yea yea



Your message will get lost

You'll get double crossed



And 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 noes gonna listen anyways



Rock and roll will bring you down

And it will kick you while your on the ground



Don't start a band

Don't even try you will regret it yea

Don't start a band

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

Don't start a band

Oh yea yea yea



So just give up now

I'll show you how



Don't start a Band [x4]
