That Band

One night down there in Boston,

Down there in Cleveland square

There was a sound that came out,

It came out of nowhere

And the bar manager greeted us

And he said ‘you’re late’

About the contract,

It was sent back and there were a few changes late

The opening band had gear that worked

And all their t-shirts matched

They took the stage and they sounded like Rage

Against The Machine and they

Kicked our asses...

That band says they’re big in Europe

That band says they’re big in Japan

That band says they’re gonna do it

I don’t know that I don’t believe them

Then you called out from side stage and said don’t you know

Any Billy ‘Piano Man’ Joel

You raged all through the night and through the smoke and you called it back

And you said ‘please don’t go for anymore, I don’t think I can keep track of myself’

That band says they’re big in Europe

That band says they’re big in Japan

That band says they’re gonna do it

I don’t know that I don’t believe them
