lyrics

12 packs of beer
Out of tune guitars
A song about a train wreck
That will never make the charts
Sneaking into sports bars
You’re still too young to play
They say you gotta pay your dues
Before you can get paid
A letter came today… it said

Cease and desist, put a stop to this
We done it first, don't ya know?
We got lawyers on the way, So just stop today
Whats mine is mine and not yours anymore

Now you’ve got it working, man
You start to make a scene
People from all over
Pay to watch you live your dream
Promoter says he really likes
Your brand new demo tape
Its conference calls, exhibit halls
You’ve finally got it made
A letter came today, it said...

Cease and desist, put a stop to this
We done it first, don't ya know?
We got lawyers on the way, So just stop today
Whats mine is mine and not yours anymore

The well has almost dried up
The scene has all moved on
Promoter wants a DJ
Not another train beat song
Stuck in shitty sports bars
The only bars you play
You paid your dues, you’re born to lose
It shouldn’t be this way
So you hung it up today...

Cease and desist, put a stop to this
We done it first, don't ya know?
We got lawyers on the way, So just stop today
Whats mine is mine and not yours anymore
