Here's the thing about the music business
The trick is playing trend rock right before the trend hits
Playing it right after means your band has missed the
Fucking bus and the kids have moved on
Here's the thing about the music business
You can't become an addict 'til you're fucking famous
If you do it backwards it just means your rent will
Be overdue and you'll have to keep a day job
Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them
All so different, I say you're all the same
Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them
S-A-F-E, you play it safe
Here's the thing about the music business
Ten thousand records isn't much if you consider the budget
Your promo, your parties, payola
Insures that your shitty band will stay poor
Here's the thing about a nail in a coffin
It keeps that shit shut while it's six feet under
And zombies no one cares about don't get a chance to
Rise from the dead and make a VH1 special
And if I'm wrong I'll shut my mouth
Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them
All so different, I say you're all the same
Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them
S-A-F-E, you play it safe
Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them
All so different, I say you're all the same
Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them
Safe
If it's playing what you're into even though it's not the current trend
S-A-F-E, we play it safe
If it's trying not to be boring to keep the audience interested
S-A-F-E, we play it safe
If it's making music that we like instead of what some label says
S-A-F-E, we play it safe
But if it's pulling this shit that you do every night...
You're playing it safe, you're playing it safe
You're playing it safe
You play, you play
You play, you play
You're playing it safe, you're playing it safe
You're playing it safe
You play, you play
You play, you play
You play, you play
You play, you play
You play, you play
You play, you play
The trick is playing trend rock right before the trend hits

If you do it backwards it just means your rent will
Be overdue and you'll have to keep a day job
Get up, stand up, line up with the rest of them
