The Opening Band Lyrics by Matthew Ebel

High Orbit Saves The Pandas

0

If you can see me, put up your hands!
I said if you can see me, everybody put up your hands!
Well nobody's paying attention to me
'cause we ain't the band that you came to see
Most of you are glued to your smartphone screens
'cause we are, we are, we are
The opening band
If you can hear me, bring me a beer!
I said if you can hear me, somebody bring me a beer!
Well none of you came to hear us play
Chances are good we won't get paid
We won't get fed and we won't gеt laid
'cause we are, wе are, we are
The opening band
So if you're listening, let me hear you scream!
Nobody is listening, we're just a noise machine
The sound guy's probably getting dunk at the bar
Our gear's getting stolen from the back of my car
And you still don't know who the fuck we are
'cause we are, we are, we are
The opening band
Don't stop believin' 'cause I'm as free as a bird
And as we wind on down the road
I'm never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
'cause I came in like a wrecking ball
I came in like a wrecking ball
And you shook me all night long
(Instrumental)
We brought some CD's here, they're right over there
I said we're selling CD's here, but none of you care
We could get bigger than Ben Folds Five
But now we're barely making enough to survive
So grab your friends and get your ass in line
'cause we are, we are, we are…
(Thank you San Diego!)
…the opening band
