What Happened To That Band

Words and Music

Lyrics

What ever happened to that band
I used to play in long ago
I guess we got to
Where we could not
Stand to see
Each other no more

I wonder where them
Three guys went
When they decided
They'd had their fill
I guess they got to
Where they had to
Stop jerking off
And pay their damn bills

The bass player was always high
The drummer was always late
The guitar player had shitty chops
That he sure thought were great
But still we could've been famous
We could've even got paid
We fucked up
When we broke up
We threw it all away

Whatever happened to those songs
I can't remember how they used to sound
I wouldn't be too surprised
If no one even
Bothered to write
The goddamn lyrics down

What happened to those
Pretty little girls
The ones who showed up
Every time we played
I guess that now they
Go see other bands
Whenever they're horny
And want to get laid, lord

When I'm thinking about
Having me a good time
I sure as shit don't
Have that band in mind
The places we played at
The people we played for
Just made me feel
Like I was a two-bit whore
