| The trick is playing trend rock right before the trend hits
|
| Playing it right after means your band has missed the
|
| Fucking bus and the kids have moved on
|
| Here’s the thing about the music business
|
| You can’t become an addict 'til you’re fucking famous
|
| If you do it backwards it just means your rent will
|
| Be overdue and you’ll have to keep a day job
|
| Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them
|
| All so different, I say you’re all the same
|
| Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them
|
| S-A-F-E, you play it safe
|
| Here’s the thing about the music business
|
| Ten thousand records isn’t much if you consider the budget
|
| Your promo, your parties, payola
|
| Insures that your shitty band will stay poor
|
| Here’s the thing about a nail in a coffin
|
| It keeps that shit shut while it’s six feet under
|
| And zombies no one cares about don’t get a chance to
|
| Rise from the dead and make a VH1 special
|
| And if I’m wrong I’ll shut my mouth
|
| Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them
|
| All so different, I say you’re all the same
|
| Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them
|
| S-A-F-E, you play it safe
|
| Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them
|
| All so different, I say you’re all the same
|
| Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them
|
| Safe
|
| If it’s playing what you’re into even though it’s not the current trend
|
| S-A-F-E, we play it safe
|
| If it’s trying not to be boring to keep the audience interested
|
| S-A-F-E, we play it safe
|
| If it’s making music that we like instead of what some label says
|
| S-A-F-E, we play it safe
|
| But if it’s pulling this shit that you do every night…
|
| 35 bucks a ticket to hear another ironic 80s pop song cover?
|
| Yeah I love your stacked chest six pack you fucking punk
|
| You’re playing it safe, you’re playing it safe
|
| You’re playing it safe
|
| You play, you play
|
| You play, you play
|
| You’re playing it safe, you’re playing it safe
|
| You’re playing it safe
|
| You play, you play
|
| You play, you play
|
| You play, you play
|
| You play, you play
|
| You play, you play
|
| You play, you play |
