Bats Out
Just another tour, just another gig
Just another sound and lighting rig
A rock n' roll show and a couple of beers
But some of those boys had other ideas
A sign on the wall made it perfectly clear
No guns, no bombs, no knives in here
Potsdam rocks but we should have been told
Of freedoms new and rivals old
We played the set and we encored fast
Then the dressing room door was locked at last
In retrospect, the mistake was the fact
That the sign didn't say no baseball bats
Bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out
There's always dark before the dawn
There's always still before the storm
From calm to chaos in a flash
The bottles flew, the place got trashed
Then, through the noise, we heard the shout
Get your bats out, get your bats out
Bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out
Said the manager to the security guard
It's no use standing there looking hard
Pick up the bat and follow me
He said I'm not with security
And the ballroom now was a battlefield
And we thought that someone might get killed
We saw it all but we never knew
What reasons lay behind that feud
And we wondered if it was fate or not
To destroy only thing you've got
Bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out
Bats out (ye, ye)
Get your bats out, bats out (ye, ye)
Get your bats out, bats out (ye, ye)
Get your bats out, bats out (ye, ye)
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out
Just another sound and lighting rig
A rock n' roll show and a couple of beers
But some of those boys had other ideas
A sign on the wall made it perfectly clear
No guns, no bombs, no knives in here
Potsdam rocks but we should have been told
Of freedoms new and rivals old
We played the set and we encored fast
Then the dressing room door was locked at last
In retrospect, the mistake was the fact
That the sign didn't say no baseball bats
Bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out
There's always dark before the dawn
There's always still before the storm
From calm to chaos in a flash
The bottles flew, the place got trashed
Then, through the noise, we heard the shout
Get your bats out, get your bats out
Bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out

Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out
Bats out (ye, ye)
Get your bats out, bats out (ye, ye)
Get your bats out, bats out (ye, ye)
Get your bats out, bats out (ye, ye)
Get your bats out, bats out
Get your bats out
