The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
You heard that we were great But now you think we're lame Since you saw the show last night You hoped that we would rock Knock it up a notch Rockin' was nowhere in sight And its never good when it goes bad No one likes to feel like they've been had And it may be ok But you won't wear our t-shirts now Anymore First the band looked wired Then the band looked tired Sluggish and a little slow He's walking through the set As drunk as he could get And what the hell was wrong with joe? And you could tell the crowd was fading fast Every song we played looser than the last And it may be ok But you won't wear our t-shirts now All the kids, they hold a grudge Their minds are logged onto the net And all the kids, they hold a grudge You fail them and they won't forget it All the kids, they're tired and turn away They saw what you did You're all wrong and all the kids are right You heard that we were great But now you know we're lame Since you saw the show last night You hoped that we would rock You wished that we'd just stop And finally we said "good night" When we had returned for the encore You and half the room had headed for the door No one wanted more All the kids, they hold a grudge Their minds are logged onto the net And all the kids, they hold a grudge You fail them and they won't forget it Next!
