We've all been there, right?

LYRICS

I can smell the bassist’s whisky breath from seven stools away
And the drummer’s bloodshot eyes tell me the green room’s aptly named
And our singer’s screaming at me ‘cause he feels like it today
And I get this funny feeling feeling…

Me and my band, we’re never gonna make it
Never gonna make it, never gonna make it
Me and my band, we’re never gonna make it
We’re never gonna make it alive

Now the lead guitarist’s moving on three women by the wall
And our manager is pacing like her therapist might call
While the questions just keep piling up, the answers aren’t at all
And it’s such a funny feeling…

Me and my band, we’re never gonna make it
Never gonna make it, never gonna make it
Me and my band, I guess we gotta face it
We’re never gonna make it alive

(Showtime)

I can smell the bassist’s whisky breath from half a stage away
And the drummer can’t remember half the songs we fucking play
And we left half of our merch inside the singer’s girlfriend’s car
And my senior year will end before I’m even half a star
And we’re falling off a tightrope and we’re bursting at the seams
And we’re all drowning in our nightmares
‘Cause we thought they were our dreams
And I hear the singer asking “are we having fun tonight?”
And the audience is silent so he has to say it twice
And I hear the singer asking “Are we having fun tonight?”
Are we?
And I get… this… funny… feeling

Me and my band, we’re never gonna make it
Never gonna make it, never gonna make it
Me and my band, we couldn’t even fake it
We’re never gonna make it alive

Me and my band, we’re never gonna
No we’re never gonna, no we’re never gonna
I said me and my band, we’re never gonna make it
We’re never gonna make it alive
