The Vandals

Well we finished up the record
And we think that it's the shit
And we want it to go huge
But to play it off legit
And the guy at A&R's
Got the CD in his car
And he thinks that tracks four
And six are contenders
But the play lists are so tight
That we gotta do this right
But we've got a good feeling
So we're gonna take a meeting
With the radio promo
And the marketing homos
To see if we can get a green light
So we waited by the phone
And they finally let us know
That the label is quote:
"Really excited"
This could be the big one
Time to celebrate perhaps
Our fate is in the hands of strangers
Going gold or down the hole
You can kiss my ass
Sp we got a couple stations
Wanted medium rotation
But the P.D. isn't sure
If the single's gonna work
Cause he's gotta play the Cure
And the Psychedelic Furs
For the 80's flashback weekend
And our ad's are in the trades
And a video got made
And it cost a hundred grand
But we never got it played
We're trying to hit the road
But the agent doesn't know
If there's enough in the budget
For tour support
So we're playing local clubs
And we're trying to get a buzz
And we got a good review in
Music Connection
This could be the big one
Time to celebrate perhaps
Our fate is in the hands of strangers
Going gold or down the hole
You can kiss my ass
In a last ditch effort
Just to rally up the troups
We ignored our last statement
Seven figures unrecouped
Cause we're in it for the art
But we'd like to see it chart
In the Billboard Top 1000
So we give it our best shot
And the label says your dropped
And the drummer quit the band
Now he's working for his dad
Now we're holding auditions
That boy's good
Give him the job
This could be the big one
Time to celebrate perhaps
Our fate is in the hands of strangers
Going gold or down the hole
You can kiss my ass
