Lyrics

I'm on a roll
Out of control
Another one night stand
I can't get away '
Cause I'm on display
But I can't see you, man [CHORUS]
Smile for the cameras
Smile for the fans
Sign their records
And shake their hands
Try to stay healthy
Try to get laid
Make it to the show
[2] That's the trade <i>
I sleep all day
On the freeway
On the bus between each gig
I'm making my living
Singing my songs
Doing my thing, dig
I had a dream
So I made some plans
Things have a way of working out
I found a few people
And formed a band
Taught myself to shout [REPEAT CHORUS]
Write down stuff
You feel strongly about
Others may feel the same
And before you know it
You might be a big star
And everyone will know your name
When you learn the trade
And you're on display
Everyone knows that name
Everyone knows our name
Everyone knows my name
