Band Of Boys

Give a big hand For the boys in the band who can do everything better than me An overnight success, just from banging on their chest As we cheer beneath the glass ceiling We've only ever dreamt of the majority they represent Who could get away with anything Normalise the way they behave after they avert the blame Pretend there's no special treatment The boys, the boys, the boys, the boys The band, the band that made them The blood, the sweat, the tears, the noise The cause, the rumours, the privilege Give a big hand to the boys in the band As they try to work a crowd They're local heroes I've heard, but the lines are getting blurred You gotta say they're not safe to be around Raising a glass to the boys who got this far Without being called out for anything From the tactics of all connecting They resolve into flirting 'Cause we seperate the art from the artist The boys, the boys, the boys, the boys The band, the band that made them The blood, the sweat, the tears, the noise The cause, the rumours, the privilege The boys, the boys, the boys, the boys The band, the band that made them The blood, the sweat, the tears, the noise The cause, the rumours, the privilege The boys, the boys, the boys, the boys The band, the band that made them The blood, the sweat, the tears, the noise The cause, the rumours, the privilege Hide your drink from the boys in music Before you pass out in their limousine 'Cause you're really a fool You've always been looked as a fool Are you sure you're gonna drag it again?

Yeah, I'm King Shit That's what I thought When I was young I knew everything Till my know-it-all Found out I didn't know too much So I had a big piece of humble pie I bought a ticket to a show Found a new perspective Some brand-new friends And I found my first real home We all put our pants on one leg at a time Aw, the struggle's real So here's the deal Ain't no one gettin' out alive So we dance all night (Dance all night) A little pickin' too (A little pickin' too) We take the weight of the world And lift it right up off of you (That's what we do) Oh you got a broken heart Just need to get away for a good time I got good news That's what me and the boys in the band Were born to do, ah ooh You can spend your whole life However you see fit Writing at a desk, diggin' in a ditch Whose ass you gotta kiss? So come on now, a-jump right in 'Cause life goes by so fast How many summers do you have left Before you're pushing up the grass? Come and dance all night (Dance all night) Do some pickin' too (A little pickin' too) Take the weight of the world And lift it right up off of you It's just what we do You got a broken heart Just need to get away for a good time I got good news That's what me and the boys in the band Were born to do We all put our pants on one leg at a time Aw, the struggle's real So here's the deal Ain't no one gettin' out alive So we dance all night (Dance all night) Do some pickin' too (A little pickin' too) We take the weight of the world And lift it right up off of you It's just what we do You got a broken heart You just need to get away for a good time I got good news That's what me and the boys in the band Were born to do Come and dance all night (Dance all night) Do some pickin' too (A little pickin' too) Take the weight of the world And lift it right up off of you It's just what we do You got a broken heart And just need to get away for a good time I got good news That's what me and the boys in the band Were born to do, ah-ooh
