I was an average guy, I had an average band
Playing for our friends in the local bars -
It didn't pay my bills, didn't help me to get laid
Soon we figured out it was time to change
Got a new wardrobe
A new haircut
And a brand new sound
Please let me sing you a song,
I'm here to sell it; it was written by someone else
You've heard it before a thousand times
But we're on TV, so it's alright
It's all been done before, but no one gives a shit
'Cause how we're dressed is all they care about
We're going with the flow, but our paycheck says we're right
Your stupidity keeps this band alive
Do not touch that dial
We're coming on
One more time
Please let me...
Just a couple guys, willing to compromise
Wrote my name on the dotted line
We took the easy way and made it to the top
Looking down sure feels fine
I'll be here a couple years
And Hollywood, I'm on my way!
Please let me...
