Behind the Music

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, we finished up the record and we think that it's the shit And we want it to go huge, but to play it off legit And the guy in A&R's got the CD in his car And he thinks track 4 and 6 are contenders But the playlists are so tight that we gotta do it right And he's got a good feeling, so we're gonna take a meeting With the radio promo and the marketing homos To see if we can get a green light So we waited by the phone and they finally let us know That the label is, quote, "Really excited" [Chorus] This could be the big one Time to celebrate perhaps Our fate is in the hands of strangers Going gold or down the hole, you can kiss my ass [Verse 2] So we got a couple stations, we're in medium rotation But the P.D. isn't sure if the single's gonna work 'Cause he's gotta play The Cure and The Psychedelic Turds For the 80's flashback weekend And our ads are in the trades and a video got made And it cost a hundred grand, but we never got it played We're trying to hit the road, but the agent doesn't know If there's enough in the budget for tour support So we're playing local clubs and we're trying to get a buzz And we got a good review in Music Connection [Chorus] This could be the big one Time to celebrate perhaps Our fate is in the hands of strangers Going gold or down the hole, you can kiss my ass [Verse 3] In a last ditch effort just to rally up the troops We ignored our last statement, seven figures unrecouped 'Cause we're in it for the art, but we'd like to see if chart In the billboard top one thousand Well, we gave it our best shot, and the label says we're dropped And the drummer quit the band, now he's working for his dad So we're doing auditions "That boy's good, give him a job!" [Chorus] This could be the big one Time to celebrate perhaps Our fate is in the hands of strangers Going gold or down the hole, you can kiss my ass [Outro] This could be the big one Time to celebrate perhaps This could be the big one You can kiss my ass
