I was an average guy, I had an average band Playing for our friends in the local bars - It didn't pay my bills, didn't help me to get laid Soon we figured out it was time to change
Got a new wardrobe A new haircut And a brand new sound
Please let me sing you a song, I'm here to sell it; it was written by someone else You've heard it before a thousand times But we're on TV, so it's alright
It's all been done before, but no one gives a shit 'Cause how we're dressed is all they care about We're going with the flow, but our paycheck says we're right Your stupidity keeps this band alive
Do not touch that dial We're coming on One more time
Please let me...
Just a couple guys, willing to compromise Wrote my name on the dotted line We took the easy way and made it to the top Looking down sure feels fine
I'll be here a couple years And Hollywood, I'm on my way!
