it's no new revelation, i've been doing this too long   i've seen a million bands, heard a billion songs, and most of them just sound wrong   most musicians just don't have it, they'd sell their souls to buy a tune   they buy a nice guitar, get told they're better than they are, and their egos start to bloom   but your band really doesn't matter, it's only rock'n'roll   it won't pave your way to heaven, but hell it moves my soul   so keep it all in context, don't think that you're the next big thing   be grateful for every gig you have and for every song you sing      and don't take music too seriously, don't call yourself funky when you're white as can be   if you think you're too big to play a house party, then why don't you make any money   yeah that's why t.a.n.g. is my favorite band, they're the only ones that understand   that sometimes i just want to laugh the night away      the kid's microphone is a gas mask, the most creative thing i've seen   if every band had the guts that t.a.n.g. has, we might actually have a scene   they thrash the autumns and metallica with pure impunity   and i love it when they mutilate bohemian rhapsody      so don't take life too seriously, don't call yourself funky when you're white as can be   if you think you're too big to play a smaller show, then your heart's not in it just your fat ego   yeah that's why t.a.n.g. is my favorite band, when i see brad on bass he helps me understand   that sometimes we all take ourselves far too seriously   yeah that's why t.a.n.g. is my favorite band, they're the only ones that understand   if you think they suck then the joke's on you, loosen up and start to sing   cause sometimes we all take ourselves far too seriously
