|
We're the opening act |
|
1-2, what's up y'all? |
|
[VERSE 1: Andy C & Dizzy Dustin] |
|
We're the opening act and we're here tonight |
|
At a club near you with the band you like |
|
In fact, it's your favorite band, you're a superfan |
|
Who wouldn't miss it for the world, so you thought up a plan |
|
You bought your tickets in advance, you left your house on time |
|
You drove 45 minutes, then you waited in line |
|
And when you finally got in and made your way to the stage |
|
You were very disappointed when we started to play |
|
We're the opening act, please try to be patient |
|
We been writing songs and rehearsin in our basement |
|
This isn't just a gig, it's a place to be seen |
|
And a chance to be heard, see, we're chasin a dream |
|
And we truly hope that you'll enjoy the way we entertain |
|
So when you go home you'll remember our name |
|
We know you waited two years for your favorite band to tour |
|
But you're stuck watchin us who you never heard before |
|
[CHORUS] |
|
We're the opening act |
|
Some people even poke fun and they laugh |
|
But most just drink and smoke in the back |
|
Know why? We're the opening act |
|
(Boom-chick-boom-boom-chick) |
|
[VERSE 2: Andy C & Dizzy Dustin] |
|
We're the opening act, we get drinks and snacks |
|
And a backstage pass and some money for gas |
|
The stage manager asks, "Are you ready to go?" |
|
There's only 50 people here and it's a sold out show |
|
Can't we wait until the club is full? "No, you gotta hurry" |
|
"The schedule says you need to be done by 8:30" |
|
8:30, why so early, there's a line around the block? |
|
"No one cares about the band in the opening spot" |
|
We're the opening act, we don't have any hits |
|
The club owner and the show promoter don't know we exist |
|
So we're never on the flyers or the marquees |
|
It's so quiet when we play, I hear people drop their car keys |
|
A couple people rock, a couple people boo |
|
But most just wish that we were through |
|
So the biggest cheer we get is when I say, "Here's the last song" |
|
Cause they know the headliner is about to come on |
|
We're the opening act, we hope you have a nice evening |
|
We'll keep working harder and we'll never stop believing |
|
Maybe some day we'll ride the tour bus |
|
And you'll be coming out to see us |
|
But for now we're the opening act |
|
(On with the show) |
|
(We're gonna be in yo town soon) |
|
We're the opening act |
|
To the people on the right |
|
We're the opening act |
|
(On with the show) |
|
(Even when promoters give us the cold shoulder) |
|
We're the opening act |
|
To the people on the left |
|
Somebody say I wanna rock right now, come on |
|
Say I wanna rock right now, everybody |
|
Say I wanna rock right now, anybody |
|
Come on, say I wanna rock right now, please |
|
(You guys suck) |
|
We are - the opening act |
|
That's us |
|
Ugly Duckling |
|
Enjoy the show |
|
Here we go |
