Leader of the Band
I played for the leader of the band
Reading factory dots with a guitar in my hand
Playing factory tunes
That couldn't end too soon
Being paid in factory grains of sand
Just a menial thing and nothing more
The only thing that mattered was the floor
When challenges are few
There's nothing left to do
But hand your life over to the score
The leader of the band, he's just a businessman
With a gift for selling what he doesn't own
Waving arms around not connected to the sound
Only those who play will understand
What it is to be the leader of the band
Day after day we made the treadwheel turn
On endless motorways the engine burned
Not remembering what we'd seen
Or where we had just been
Or what lessons we had left to learn
The leader of the band, he's just a businessman
With a gift for selling what he doesn't own
Waving arms around not connected to the sound
Only those who play will understand
What it is to be the leader of the band
The leader of the band, he's just a businessman
With a gift for selling what he doesn't own
Waving arms around not connected to the sound
Only those who play will understand
What it is to be the leader of the band
Reading factory dots with a guitar in my hand
Playing factory tunes
That couldn't end too soon
Being paid in factory grains of sand
Just a menial thing and nothing more
The only thing that mattered was the floor
When challenges are few
There's nothing left to do
But hand your life over to the score
The leader of the band, he's just a businessman
With a gift for selling what he doesn't own
Waving arms around not connected to the sound
Only those who play will understand
What it is to be the leader of the band
Day after day we made the treadwheel turn
On endless motorways the engine burned
Not remembering what we'd seen
Or where we had just been
Or what lessons we had left to learn
The leader of the band, he's just a businessman
With a gift for selling what he doesn't own
Waving arms around not connected to the sound
Only those who play will understand
What it is to be the leader of the band
The leader of the band, he's just a businessman
With a gift for selling what he doesn't own
Waving arms around not connected to the sound
Only those who play will understand
What it is to be the leader of the band
