about

Every struggling band's worse nightmare summed up in song. Also, every bar patron's worse nightmare summed up in song. A true story taking place in the state of Delaware.

lyrics

Well, I’m tired of working my ass off from day to day
I think I’ll hit the local bar and then I’ll raise some hay
This band here putting on a show
They play what I like or else they go

I want to hear some tunes from when I was in school
Any other night you know we’d be shooting pool
The songs they play are much too loud
Don’t they know this is an older crowd?

I’m losing all my hearing from this stupid band
There’s one thing about them I cannot understand
If you can afford a guitar
you can learn to play Skynyrd

I’ve requested the Allman’s about fifty Goddamn times
These guy’s have songs that have words that simply do not rhyme
It’s something I that I do not get
Maybe it’s called art

I’m trying to drown my anger in this booze
I’ve been sitting all alone pounding jungle juice
Who do they think they are
I may follow them to their car
And I swear I’ll leave them all bloody and bruised.
