Poison - Strike Up The Band lyrics
rate meLiving off the friends we made<br>Never ever getting paid<br>Kicking ass and paying dues<br>Lose our mind in self abuse<br><br>Loving ladies by the score<br>Waking up and wanting more<br>I hope my mama understands<br>When I strike up the band<br><br>Well I spit out my anger as the sweat do fly<br>Fifteen years of paying dues just to get me by<br>Now the barkeeps would pay us by the crowds we bring<br>But those son-of-bitches never paid us one damn thing<br>And my poor daddy, he just don't understand<br>It's balls out tonight, watch the shit hit the fan<br>When we strike up the band<br><br>Now those drop dead ladies line the very first row<br>I do believe I'd like to spend some time after the show<br>Now them years gone by, the barkeeps pay in cash<br>And them lovely ladies feed me an earful of trash<br><br>And my old lady, she just don't understand<br>Why those floozies got their hands on her man<br>And my poor daddy, he still don't understand<br>Why it's balls out tonight watch the shit hit the fan<br>Give it all that we can, we don't give a good damn<br>When we strike up the band<br><br>Living like a gypsy,<br>An air conditioned hippie<br>Who's never seen the light of day<br>Rode dog and cowboy<br>Don't know how, boy<br>I ever lived this long this way, no, no, said<br><br>And my poor daddy, he still don't understand<br>Why it's balls out tonight watch the shit hit the fan<br>Give it all that we can, we don't give a good damn<br>When we strike up the band
