Cover Band Lyrics

Every night I have the same conversation

Side stage someone raves, says,

"You know what you should do?

Let me tell you

There's a fortune that you could be making

if you play stuff everybody knows

They would love you

They would love you"

It's hard enough to keep the fire burning

Now cover bands are booking nights at Massey Hall

Abuse it and you lose it

When it comes to music

Music town ain't musical at all

Once more so you understand

I don't play in a cover band

I'm not covering anything

Take the money on easy street

singing somebody's masterpiece

No thanks, babe, not for me

There's nothing wrong with a good reproduction

but it hurts when the government funds it

I'll tell you

What do we do?

Every wedding night

Every rock club

Every festival they've all got one

They're got two

Some kind of tribute

It's hard enough to keep the fire burning

Now cover bands are booking nights at Massey Hall

Abuse it and you lose it

When it comes to music

Music town ain't musical at all

Once more so you understand

I don't play in a cover band

I'm not covering anything

Take the money on easy street

singing somebody's masterpiece

No thanks, babe, not for me

I can't help that this whole world is upside down

Knock off the Mona Lisa, sell it to the crowd

Am I jealous?

Ya, I guess that's how this sounds

Once more so you understand

I don't play in a cover band

I'm not covering anything

Once more so you understand

I don't play in a cover band

I'm not covering anything

Take the money on easy street

singing somebody's masterpiece

No thanks, babe, not for me

Music town ain't musical at all

Music town ain't musical at all
