The Homeless Gospel Choir - Old Timey Band

Oh I wanna play in an old-timey band
And I wanna be a guy that says what he means
I wanna sing out a tune and get praise for it
And I wanna live in the back of the van
Oh I think that we should get our drinks for free
And I think the doorman should have to leave
And I still think it's unfair to be 17
And not hear the bands that you came here to see
But I'm just another person that wishes
And I'm just another person that dreams
And I'm just trying to make sense out of all of this
Before everything changes and we forget what it means
I'm just another person that wishes
And I'm just another person that dreams
And I'm just trying to make sense out of all of this
Before everything changes and we forget what it means

Oh I wanna play an old-timey band
And I wanna be a guy that sings really good
And I wanna hear singing go all through the crowd
That shatters the windows and splinters the wood
And I wanna hear fathers that care for their children
And I wanna hear mothers that act modestly
And I wanna hear leaders that care for their people
And I wanna hear people just like you and me
But I can't seem to see past the smoke and the mirrors
That blind me and choke me and blacken my soul
So if I die crawling out of this room tonight
Please read me these words at my funeral
Cause I'm just another person that wishes
And I'm just another person that dreams
And I'm just trying to make sense out of all of this
Before everything changes and we forget what it means
I'm just another person that wishes
And I'm just another person that dreams
And I'm just trying to make sense out of all of this
Before everything changes and we forget what it means
Before you go on changing and you forget what you mean
Before I go on changing and I forget what I mean
Well I wanna play in an old-timey band
