Rosebud - Get Dead

Build it up and take it to the streets

Because if it can’t be seen what does it mean

If it can’t stand upright alone

Watch it fall down, hang your head back home

But chances are that someone gives a damn

And that will validate your sweat;

every songs for them

But by all means keep this from your head

Because things you say become what you said

And don’t forget why you came to play

Take the first slot and don’t get paid

But if there’s one thing with which you should walk away

Is what will set you apart — drive far away and play

Then stick around and meet the other bands

Because here’s the situation as it stands

They will need a place to stay on tour

So they will give you drink and let you sleep on their floor

And at some shows they will be the crowd

So when they are finished sing your praise out loud

And in the end you will have a friend

Because you’ve sweat it out just like them

So when times get tough and you need a place to stay

Just get back in the van and drive far away and play

There we were standing around

We had not much to say;

our eyes were on the ground

We were broke and we had our own problems

But our choices were to drive or hit rock bottom

Reluctantly we climbed back in the van

No one said a word as we left San Fran

The tire hum made our burdens slip away

And we were so free because we were far away
