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 my 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,
