Lyrics Be Part Of The Band - The Verve Pipe

Be Part Of The Band

Gather 'round my guitar I’m about to share some knowledge
There’s one thing I can help you understand
You’re only now in middle school, your folks are talking college
But tell them that you might have other plans
Be part of the band, be part of the band
Pick up any instrument and do the best you can
Be part of the band, be part of the band
Play some drums or guitar strums and entertain your friends
But don’t get a manager just yet
Everybody loves it when the drummer and the guitar make a sound
And everybody loves when the bass player thumps then he pumps it
'Til it’s shaking all the ground
Look at him on the keyboard doing a handsome on his keys
Watch the lead singer grab the microphone
Karate kick then drop and sing on his knees
Be part of the band (gimme a «B»)
Be part of the band (now gimme an «A»)
Pick up any instrument and do the best you can
Be part of the band (gimme an «N»)
Be part of the band (now gimme a «D»)
Play some drums or guitar strums or simply clap your hands
(Now what do ya got? Band!)
But don’t get a manager just yet
You can make up a sensitive love song
For your one true love
And you play it for them and they don’t appreciate it
Then write another song about being frustrated
You can be under the mirror ball the reflection lights the crowd in front of you
You can fake an English accent and then kick some butt
You could play anything and it doesn’t matter what
Be part of the band, be part of the band
Pick up any instrument and do the best you can
Be part of the band, be part of the band
Anything you own’s a microphone so entertain your fans
But don’t get a manager or a lawyer or a publicist or a stylist
Or a roadie (maybe a roadie) but not a manager just yet
