Why t.a.n.g. is my favorite band

It's no new revelation, i've been doing this too long
I've seen a million bands, heard a billion songs, and most of them just sound wrong
Most musicians just don't have it, they'd sell their souls to buy a tune
They buy a nice guitar, get told they're better than they are, and their egos start to bloom
But your band really doesn't matter, it's only rock'n'roll
It won't pave your way to heaven, but hell it moves my soul
So keep it all in context, don't think that you're the next big thing
Be grateful for every gig you have and for every song you sing

And don't take music too seriously, don't call yourself funky when you're white as can be
If you think you're too big to play a house party, then why don't you make any money
Yeah that's why t.a.n.g. is my favorite band, they're the only ones that understand
That sometimes i just want to laugh the night away

The kid's microphone is a gas mask, the most creative thing i've seen
If every band had the guts that t.a.n.g. has, we might actually have a scene
They thrash the autumns and metallica with pure impunity
And i love it when they mutilate bohemian rhapsody

So don't take life too seriously, don't call yourself funky when you're white as can be
If you think you're too big to play a smaller show, then your heart's not in it just your fat ego
Yeah that's why t.a.n.g. is my favorite band, when i see brad on bass he helps me understand
That sometimes we all take ourselves far too seriously
Yeah that's why t.a.n.g. is my favorite band, they're the only ones that understand
If you think they suck then the joke's on you, loosen up and start to sing
Cause sometimes we all take ourselves far too seriously
