Local Band - Be Like Max

Listen up

I got something to say

About every show that we play

All the stories are the same

Well, we’re not a major band you’ve heard

But we still work hard

Just to spread the word

Of a main act that you might not know

With no money to the night nobody will promote

So they hired us with no expense

To tell the town what they can’t miss

Heros will let you share the stage

But they’ll never show up to hear you play

(We're just a local band)

And we’re here to save the show

I’m grateful still

But I’m allowed to vent

Because I’ve been doing this for years and I’ve never made a cent

When the scene kids think that we’re all rich

But they’ve never been in bands and they don’t know shit

Tell you what I’m not a business man

I’m just a man with a microphone in his hand

And I’d like to sing to support my dreams

Even if they never reach away from home this scene’s at an end

So this time I’ll just sing for fans and friends days

(We're just a local band)

And we’re here to save the show

I’ve wished that the three song demo we burnt before the show

Would make it in the hands

Of someone that we’ve loved and trusted

Since we were kids and we had hope

We didn’t understand the music industry goals

Well, fuck that

We’re never going to stop we’re not here to impress

We’ll play what we want just a small band

But with big hearts and just a few fans

But they love us for who we are

(We're just a local band)

And we’re here to save the show
