Pain - In A Band lyrics

Growing up I had it rough.
Although I hated work
it taught me just enough.
To know there aint no application
for the job that I have been chasin´
and I am looking for a diamond in the rough.
And as it seems to me
that if it was just a phase
it´d´ve passed around eighteen
(but it didn´t & I am in it
past the point of giving in
so make your wagers
place your bets &
shut your mouths about regrets
and how we are screwed).

You climb the rung,
I will keep my head
and I will take all the crap
you are giving me instead.
Cause we will be driving to a show
while you will be working at the store
and checking out some lady buying wonder bread.
And as it seems to me
that there are lots of cool jobs
but just a few that interest me.
I never wanted to work
inside a shop as a clerk
or build my pension plan
by being a company man.

I wanna be in a band.
My parents still don´t understand.

Just add it up, you will see the crux.
From all our arguments we have gathered
just enough to know we are quicker than a hare
and smarter than the average bear
and just because itself is reason just enough.
And as it seems to me
that the sheer volume of pay
isn´t a gauge of self-esteem.

I never wanted to work
inside a shop as a clerk
or build my pension plan
by being a company man.

I wanted to be in a band.
We have got a penchant for fun,
and groove for everyone.
I wanna be in a band.
If you are concerned with the odds
you would better never begin.

Veterinarian, garbage man
or public speaking from a stand
or pulling teeth or sweeping streets
are all real cool & need to be done
but not by me.

I wanna be in a band (black coffee & wrong turns)
I wanna make the supply
and then create the demand.
I wanna be in a band (banned from all the big clubs)
Supply side economics
fit to make you happy...
be in a band (beer drinking & mayhem)
We have got a penchant for fun
and groove for everyone.
I wanna be in a band (bandanas & make-up).
My children still don´t understand.
