lyrics

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
