I Quit the Band
At the theater
They're all going nuts
Awaiting the brand new song
One-hundred bucks a pop they're charging all the kids
Who stand in line for two hours long
I'm not one to avoid
A confrontation
But, before we start
I quit the band
At nine o' clock the show must go on
The crowd don't even know I'm gone
I don't care about looking pretty from city to city
For six and a half more months
You know that I love you
But it's over
Don't try to understand
I quit the band
This rock and roll is under too much control
By the rules of a man
So bye bye New York, Chicago, L.A
Austin, Philadelphia PA
I'll visit you on my own
Yeah, on my own
Some other day
Doesn't matter what you're selling
Just image and fame
If you leave the scene
You know you're gonna lose the game
Before the madness starts
I quit the band
Just leave me alone now
I don't care if you understand
If there's anybody here
Who thinks they might have a plan
To ease my confusion
My fear for this clan
Don't turn to run away
And yell some arbitrary name
Just so you can pass the blame
Hey now baby
Don't try to understand
I quit the band
This rock and roll is under too much control
By the rules of the man
So enjoy your champagne in the limousine
For the ninth day in a row
And I guess it's fine you're spending money
In donation to your strong ego
The material things that you should have seen
Go wax my car
And keep it clean
Happiness is only green
If you know what I mean
Before we start
I quit the band
Before we start
I quit the band
They're all going nuts
Awaiting the brand new song
One-hundred bucks a pop they're charging all the kids
Who stand in line for two hours long
I'm not one to avoid
A confrontation
But, before we start
I quit the band
At nine o' clock the show must go on
The crowd don't even know I'm gone
I don't care about looking pretty from city to city
For six and a half more months
You know that I love you
But it's over
Don't try to understand
I quit the band
This rock and roll is under too much control
By the rules of a man
So bye bye New York, Chicago, L.A
Austin, Philadelphia PA
I'll visit you on my own
Yeah, on my own
Some other day
Doesn't matter what you're selling
Just image and fame
If you leave the scene
You know you're gonna lose the game
Before the madness starts

Just leave me alone now

And keep it clean
Happiness is only green
If you know what I mean
Before we start
I quit the band
Before we start
I quit the band
