Don't start a band No body wants to hear no body wants to hear Nobody understands Don't start a band You'll be so disappointed that it was nothing like you planned Don't start a band Oh yea yea yea
I hate to ruin the magic I hate to kill the dream But once you've been behind the scenes then you'll know just what I mean You might think that's its cool to get up on stage And play rock and roll from your heart and soul But no one shows up and your songs all suck And there's no applause and no flying bras No girls will scream for you and no ones gonna sing along with you
Don't start a band No body wants to hear nobody understands Don't start a band You will be so damn terrible they'll all think your shitty Don't start a band Oh yea yea yea 'cause you wont get paid And you won't get laid
And even if you make it All the way to MTV I don't think you could take it All the bullshit and the greed Everyone is so fake when they shake you hand And they kiss your ass 'cause then they get cash And the business end will turn every friend To an enemy oh you will see
They'll turn their their backs and they'll be gone Faster than can say 'what did I do wrong'
Don't start a band No body really cares nobody understands Don't Start a Band You will sign your lives away and then you'll be working for the man Don't start a band oh yea yea yea
Your message will get lost You'll get double crossed
And if you that the joy of playing Will keep you going through the years Wait till you poor and frustrated And the fun just disappears Nobody cares what you have to say And noes gonna listen anyways
Rock and roll will bring you down And it will kick you while your on the ground
Don't start a band Don't even try you will regret it yea Don't start a band You'll be so disappointed that it was nothing like you planned Don't start a band Oh yea yea yea
