The best show it can be
Doubt sets in deeply
Palms begin to sweat
Butterflies fight in my belly
Yeah, it’s pretty much a knockout
No, everybody in the crowd
Seems to be having the best time of their lives
Must
Not
Forget
Why this is the best show ever in the world (in the world)

Are We There Yet?

Are we there yet
Cause my butt is starting to fall asleep
Are we there yet
This van is a loud broken down junk heap
Are we there yet
Somebody really needs to take a shower
Are we there yet
This cramped can is starting to smell really sour
That's just the metal band life on the road
Travel from one place to another zip code
Going from one gig to another show
Just to become a metal commando
Are we there yet
Cause my butt is starting to fall asleep
Are we there yet
This van is a loud broken down junk heap
Are we there yet
Somebody really needs to take a shower
Are we there yet
This cramped can is starting to smell really sour
Rolling down the road with nothing in our guts
Would give anything for some sweet donuts
We guess it’s more fasting for our trim figures
Stomach just gurgles like we are all killers
Are we there yet
Cause my butt is starting to fall asleep
Are we there yet
This van is a loud broken down junk heap
Are we there yet
Somebody really needs to take a shower
Are we there yet
This cramped can is starting to smell really sour
We made enough to rent a motel room
Morning arrives, we all wake up and put on our perfume
Who’s got the keys, we need to get a move on
The horror sets in as we stair inside of the van
Panic sets in
What are we gonna do now
Guess we need
To find some way to break on in now
Are we there yet
Cause my butt is starting to fall asleep
Are we there yet
This van is a loud broken down junk heap
Are we there yet
Somebody really needs to take a shower
Are we there yet
This cramped can is starting to smell really sour
Drool drips down the face of that one band member
Snoring so loud is it sounds like the chainsaw from that one December
All you can do is crank up your headphones
Blast into your skull your ambient song drones
After drifting off you feel the need to pee
Shouldn’t have had that really big cup of calming hot tea
The van comes to a stop on the side of the highway
You rush out, relieve yourself and do a wondrous pee ballet
Back on road
Almost there
I can see the lights
Our name on the marquee
People lined up at the door
We wouldn’t trade it for anything in this world
You are the reason we all do it
We are here now
Load in the gear from outta the back
We are here now
Time to stretch, warm up our fingers and toes
We are here now
Hopefully none of us have heart attacks
We are here now
Now we’re on stage we’ll see how it goes

Day Jobs
04:43

This helps us pay our bills
It’s not very big on thrills
Not a metal life
But it’s big on needless strife
We slave away at our day jobs
We are above you slobs
9 to 5 we’re nothing but pigs
Are we gonna make it big
Wake Up
Apply my makeup and get dressed
Put on my pants and get psyched up
Head out the door and I’m at work
Helping old ladies just squeeze in
Into a dress that is too small
Listen to a boss that's just dumb
Try to explain to me base things
I’m just not some stupid air head
I just want a mic in my hand
Headbanging, screaming with all my band
Style just tries to take it all from me
Fashion is just so much fun
Can’t you see
This helps us pay our bills
It’s not very big on thrills
Not a metal life
But it’s big on needless strife
We slave away at our day jobs
We are above you slobs
9 to 5 we’re nothing but pigs
Are we gonna make it big
Wake Up
Stumble on into the kitchen
Clean all my guns with the safety's off
Dress up in all of my camo
Get in my truck and I start to drive
Adjusting my CB I listen in
Make sure I’ve still got my trailer
Start to drift off and I fall asleep
Wake back up in a stunned daze
I just want to have my guitar in my hands
Play those heavy riffs for my awesome metal band
The redneck life takes a lot outta me
Maybe I should go back and get a degree
This helps us pay our bills
It’s not very big on thrills
Not a metal life
But it’s big on needless strife
We slave away at our day jobs
We are above you slobs
9 to 5 we’re nothing but pigs
Are we gonna make it big
Wake Up
Check the fridge for pizza
Wash out all of the party
Throw on my smock and I’m at work
Flipping those patties like SpongeBob
A disco ball on my key ring
Trying too hard to be funny
I’m only here cause I need money
I bringing the party is all me
I just want to party through the night
If there’s pizza you can bet I’ll get a bite
Only need this job to makes ends meet
Wish there was some kind of life cheat
Wake Up
Roll outta bed around high noon
Parents be wiggin’ like, hey now
School doesn’t start until midday
Lay on the couch like a beach bum
Go online for all my classes
Gotta work for that big degree
Why’s school gotta be so lame
It’s always gonna be the same
We suffer for you
We know you suffer too
Our day jobs bring us pain
Our fans help bring us fame
Are we gonna make it big

Chasing Trends
04:08
|

We've gotta chase that fame
And chase that trend
We're always one step behind
One step behind
We gotta grow our audience
Become notorious
Find out who we are
Posting content
Making merch
Gotta be frequent
Can’t be a lurch
Marketing our sound
Genres all around
This is the artist’s plight
To make it in the spotlight
Social media algorithmic breakdowns
Giving us a headache but we’re not gonna back down
Craving the attention of all the masses
Trying not to fall in unknown crevasses
Maybe if we buy some ads
Boost that post
We've gotta chase that fame
And chase that trend
We're always one step behind
One step behind
We gotta grow our audience
Become notorious
Find out who we are
Profiles of our distinctive faces
Showing up in everyone’s digital spaces
Chirping some important band updates
Snapping some original insta-greats
So many different applications
Trying to make our public declarations
Social platforms causing so much chatter
Trying to juggle all this subject matter
Fresh new faces are what we’re targeting
That’s why we work so hard at all of our marketing
Trying to be out in front of the curve
Also giving the fans what they deserve
We've gotta chase that fame
And chase that trend
We're always one step behind
One step behind
We gotta grow our audience
Become notorious
Find out who we are
Sorting through all of these social networks
Implementation just brings out the waterworks
Trying to achieve a genuine connection
Brings about an attitude of reflection
Chasing those greasy social media issues
When we don’t succeed we may need our tissues
Cranking out those posts to get some engagement
All from the comfort of your mother’s basement
We have found the ultimate answer
What will make our stats move like dancer
Social media won’t give us the hot sweats
As long as we show you pics of our awesome pets

Creative Control

You can never have it
Achieve the heights of what I have
I need complete control
You think you can do better than me
I’d like to see you try
Creative Control
We all want it
We all need it
Creative Control
We all want it
Only I deserve it
You guys never listen to me
I have so many ideas
Ideas, notions to change the industry
Makeover this truly negative male masculinity
Give me a shot
Let me have my break
I’m like food for thought
It can be give or take
Secretly
Hopefully
Don’t undermine this female entity
Come on guys
Can’t you see
We’re all in this eternally
Beat for beat
Riff for riff
We all need to just settle this
Give it to me
Give it to me
All the control
Give it to me
Give it to me
Give it to me
All to me
Creative Control
We all want it
We all need it
Creative Control
We all want it
Only I deserve it
You all need to stop being stupid
I’m over here startin’ to feel all excluded
You all started ruining our music
It doesn’t matter what heck you all did
Don’t ruin the music
Don’t ruin all that I did
Creative Control
We all want it
We all need it
Creative Control
We all want it
Only I deserve it

(Don't Be) That Guy
03:49
|
|||
We all know that guy
Who is in every band
Who wishes he were somewhere else when the task is at a hand
We all know that guy
Who is never around
To help you carry your gear in
To help you not have a breakdown
Don’t Be That Guy
Then they just do the totally unthinkable
Acting like their so great, like their just so invincible
Loses their place in a blinding might of fury
They doesn't seem to have a care or even the slightest worry
Bottling our anger we look their direction
They just look off the stage, you can see their disconnection
Don’t Be That Guy
Sleeping in the van with their mouth wide open
Snoring so loud no one can ignore it
They offer to help pay for gas on the way to the show
Only to “forget” their wallet back at home
Don’t be the guy who thinks he is the best
Don’t be the guy who falls like all the rest
We all know that guy and think he is the worst
We all know that guy who goes in head first
You’re a valued member of this musical adventure
And we don’t want you to feel all this pressure
We’re all in this whirlwind metal music jamboree
Move from side to side together in synced harmony
Don’t Be That Guy
Open your eyes and you can plainly see
You are that guy, you’re the absentee
You flood the room with your signature stink
From never bathing on the road
You smell like a clogged kitchen sink
We know that times are tough and things can be hard
But, we feel you’ve got potential even though values aren't your calling card
We would have kicked you out
If we really wanted to
But you make us all laugh
And it wouldn’t be the same without you

Christmas Present Chaos
03:18
|

Can I get a hot minute thinkin’ ’bout The Kid
Sittin' at the drums ‘bout to make me crazy
What would he like to opening on Christmas day
Hoping he likes what I get him either way
I know that Halo is his favorite gaming FPS
Crushing those noobs brings him joy in great excess
He may be young and lacking in experience
But he's a cool dude despite his clumsiness
Bright lights and the Cheeto dust settles
He loves to bring life to all that old metal
Late nights and empty soda cans
Partied so long he passed out in the van
What could he use to cut loose
Here's a pop quiz
Maybe some cheese whiz
What do I get the party guy
What do I buy to make him more fly
Place it in a box
Tape it all around
It’s not like it’s smallpox
This should be my playground
Complicated
Exhilarated
Anticipated
Nauseated
Can’t seem to find the right thing
For my friend the drum machine
Style
Fashion
Trendsetter
Rocks that microphone
Step to the side
Break it all down
I'm sure there's something clothes related
I can get for her wardrobe
Gotta grind it out
Make it loud
Crank it up
Deer themed underwear
Gun related socks
What could I get to take hunting
I know what I can do
I know what I can get
Craft supplies and some paper clips
Gonna MacGyver something good
That he’ll never forget
It’s all doom
Light is all gone
Missed my window
To get them something on Amazon
Why, why is it so hard to buy a gift
For a teen with some sick skill
I don’t want him to think I forgot
Every year it’s something new
Just a matter of which who
I could get him a decal that says “bands without drummers suck”
He’s a good brother and a friend
What could he use to see him through the bitter end
We’re at the age of practicality
But it must reek of brutality
