Bob Wire - The Dangerous (feat. Chip Whitson)

The best of friends in junior high
Four awkward adolescent guys
They never learned how to be cool
They felt so invisible to everyone at school

One morning riding on the bus
Billy said this could be us
He pulled a record from his coat
They laid their eyes on Kiss Alive and that was all she wrote

They found some drums and old guitars
And practiced underneath the stars
Their backyard band got pretty good
They built a loyal following in Billy's neighborhood

They thought their band should have a name
Tommy said not something lame
It should be something dangerous
Something that inspires fear when people look at us

The Dangerous played at the mall
They played the Winter Carnival
They played the prom, they played the fair
Before too long the Dangerous was playing everywhere

They tried some pot, they drank some beers
Skated through their high school years
They put their college plans on hold
Confident their future lay in playing rock and roll

What happened next you probably guessed
They bought a van and headed west
With California in their sights
Dreaming of gold records and those crazy L.A. nights

Some hit it big, while others fail
Some never live to tell the tale
They had more guts than most of us
That rockin' little backyard band they called The Dangerous

The Dangerous, the Dangerous, everybody loved the Dangerous
The Dangerous, the Dangerous, whatever happened to the Dangerous
The Dangerous, the Dangerous, they're still talkin' 'bout the Dangerous
The Dangerous, the Dangerous, girls went wild for the Dangerous
The Dangerous, the Dangerous, nobody sounded like the Dangerous
The Dangerous, the Dangerous, I want to be the Dangerous
