Roadie lyrics
by Jon Brion
[Verse 1]
Well, it's 3pm, time to lug the gear
Gotta get it on the stage
My muscles flex, my f*ckin' sweat will save the day
When I check the mic, I f*ckin' check the mic
I f*ckin' checka-checka one, two, three
I plug it in, I make it sound as good as can be
[Verse 2]
'Cause the rockers rock, but the roadies roll
Gotta take mic, because I take control
Gotta get that sh*t up on that f*ckin' stage
Because the roadie knows what the roadie knows
And the roadie knows that he wears black clothes
And he hides off in the shadows, off the stage
[Pre-Chorus]
Because the roadie
Looks a thousand miles with his eyes
And when the crowd roars
Brings a tear drop to the roadie's eyes - tears of pride
[Chorus]
Because he brought you the show, but you will never know
He's changing the strings, while hiding in the wings
No matter how hard
The show must go on
[Verse 3]
Then a beautiful girl come to me
She say, "Hey, can I suck-a your di*k?"
I say "yes" - I am in love
Then she quickly say "I sucked your di*k
Now gimme that backstage pass
I do not want you, roadie, I want KG's chode"
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm standing at the threshold of your dreams!
Without me, there'd be no sound from those amps!
Without me, there'd be no lights on the stage
But you don't applaud for me!
[Outro]
No! I am the roadie
Lonesome warrior searching for the soul
No! I am the roadie
I make the rock go
Ah!
Roadie...
Roadie...
Roadie...
