With the Band Lyrics

Call human resources and tell them to keep my sell by date on the down low

There's plenty of time left in me

To pretend that I am relevant

Call the payroll department and ask them to keep my long time service award hush hush

So I can pretend that I've got a chance

And that I'm going somewhere

People ask me, what do you do with your life?

And I tell them...

I'm with the band

I'm with the band

No not with, but just beside

But I don't mind not being liked

As long as they play the music right

And I realise that they are only keeping me around for the head count

And my tea making skills

I've got my dreams but don't get me wrong, I'll never act on them

I'm far too busy doing nothing and pretend that I'm trying hard

They'll let me stand on the stage with a light restraining order in place

They don't wanna come down with a case of failure by association

People ask me, what do you do with your life?

And I tell them...

I'm with the band

I'm with the band

No not with but just beside

But I don't mind not being liked

As long as they play the music right

And I realise that they are only keeping me around for the head count

And my tea making skills

They put a "D" on my cap, now I know just where I stand

They put a "D" on my cap, now I know just where I stand

Just where I stand, just where I stand

Just where I stand, just where I stand, stand, stand

(I'm with the band)

I've passed my sell by date

Now I've turned green with envy

(I'm with the band)

I've passed my sell by date

Now I've turned green with envy

(I'm with the band)

I've passed my sell by date

Now I've turned green with envy

(I'm with the band)

I've passed my sell by date

Now I've turned green with envy
