Playing in a Band

If you want to know who’s a foe or friend
Play in a band
And if you ever want your nerves to get ruined
Play in a band
If you want your eardrums to burst
Play in a band
And if you want to hear the latest gossip
Play in a band

You`ve got to pay so that you can play
You`ve got to stand in the pouring rain
Please don’t expect a big hurray
Your own applause is all you`ll get
It’s casting pearls before swine
Killing ambition, killing rhyme
The smaller the talent, the bigger the mouth
Criticism is never allowed

If you`ve got masochistic tendencies
Play in a band
If you like arguing endlessly
Play in a band
If you want to hear the strangest tunes
Play in a band
If you want to find out about wasting time
Play in a band

You`ve got to pay so that you can play
You`ve got to stand in the pouring rain
Please don’t expect a big hurray
Your own applause is all you`ll get
It’s casting pearls before swine
Killing ambition, killing rhyme
The smaller the talent, the bigger the mouth
Criticism is never allowed

So if you`re really in love with music, stay away from bands
Cause the guitar in your hand is your only true friend
