Wristband |
I stepped outside the backstage door to breathe some nicotine |
And maybe check my mailbox, see if I can read the screen |
Then I heard a click, the stage door lock |
I knew just what that meant |
I’m gonna have to walk around the block if I wanna get in |
Wristband, my man, you’ve got to have a wristband |
If you don’t have a wristband, my man, you don’t get through the door |
Wristband, my man, you’ve got to have a wristband |
And if you don’t have a wristband, my man, you don’t get through the door |
I can’t explain it, I don’t know why my heart beats like a fist |
When I meet some dude with an attitude saying «hey, you can’t do that, or this» |
And the man was large, a well-dressed six-foot-eight |
And he’s acting like Saint Peter standing guard at the Pearly… |
Wristband, my man, you’ve got to have a wristband |
You don’t have a wristband, you don’t get through the door |
And I said «wristband? |
I don’t need a wristband |
My axe is on the bandstand, my band is on the floor» |
I mean it’s just… |
(Wristband) |
(Wristband) |
(Wristband) |
(Wristband) |
(Wristband) |
(Wristband) |
(Wristband) |
The riots started slowly with the homeless and the lowly |
Then they spread into the heartland towns that never get a wristband |
Kids that can’t afford the cool brand whose anger is a short-hand |
For you’ll never get a wristband and if you don’t have a wristband then you |
can’t get through the door |
No you can’t get through the door |
No you can’t get through the door |
Say you can’t get through the door, no |
