Grip-Like Vice - With the Band Lyrics

Call human resources and tell them to keep my sell by date on the down low
There's plenty of time left in me
To pretend that I am relevant
Call the payroll department and ask them to keep my long time service award hush hush
So I can pretend that I've got a chance
And that I'm going somewhere
People ask me, what do you do with your life?
And I tell them...
I'm with the band
I'm with the band
No not with, but just beside
But I don't mind not being liked
As long as they play the music right
And I realise that they are only keeping me around for the head count
And my tea making skills
I've got my dreams but don't get me wrong, I'll never act on them
I'm far too busy doing nothing and pretend that I'm trying hard
They'll let me stand on the stage with a light restraining order in place
They don't wanna come down with a case of failure by association
People ask me, what do you do with your life?
And I tell them...
I'm with the band
I'm with the band
No not with but just beside
But I don't mind not being liked
As long as they play the music right
And I realise that they are only keeping me around for the head count
And my tea making skills
They put a "D" on my cap, now I know just where I stand
They put a "D" on my cap, now I know just where I stand
Just where I stand, just where I stand
Just where I stand, just where I stand, stand, stand
(I'm with the band)
I've passed my sell by date
Now I've turned green with envy
(I'm with the band)
I've passed my sell by date
Now I've turned green with envy
(I'm with the band)
I've passed my sell by date
Now I've turned green with envy
(I'm with the band)
I've passed my sell by date
Now I've turned green with envy
