Brand New Band

Here we go again,
Give it another try
Gather up some friends
On whom we can rely
It has been done before
And has come to an end
But we'll just try once more
Cause it's a brand new band
It's another band
Planning another show
Will it go as planned ?
How the hell should I know ?
It's a new experience
A struggle that begins
That could get quite intense
or end up in the bin
Everyone's selves are merging
Into a new something
A stunning alchemy
Where gold is melody
And I know that someday,
The drums are bound to stop
Somewhere down the line,
The bass too will shut up
I know that eventually,
Guitars will have to cease
And at the very end,
My voice will rest in peace
But not now, not while blood still flows in our veins
Not while neural connections still function in our brains
We'll still try to make music and make it live on stage
No matter how many tries or bands and no matter our age
Maybe in the end we'll think it's been in vain
But in the meantime it's what prevents life from beeing plain
Music can make positive energy out of rage
So let's make something with it, let's write a new page
It's another band
Planning another show
Will it go as planned ?
How the hell should I know ?
It's a new experience
A struggle that begins
That could get quite intense
or end up in the bin

Nowhere to go
Nothing to say
Label on your toe
On a frigorific tray
For you there will be
No more regrets
But there'll be plenty
For those who are left
Be sure to carry out everything you wanna do
Every single little thing that truly matters to you
You'll never be able to know when your time will be
So even if you're young, death is something you should foresee
It will be too late when you're dead
too late when you're dead
too late when you're dead
Go see the world
If that is your thing
Build a flying saucer
or a pretend time machine
Go meet people
Write a novel
A poem, a rondeau
A guitar solo
###SOLO###
plant a tree
cross a sea
be a daddy
or a mommy
wear a hat
get a cat
grow a stache
give some cash
Play a game
Have no shame
Be a kid
get married
build a house
give advice
take your time
learn to sign
Be yourself
Or someone else
Choose a path
Take a bath
Bake a cake
Take a break
Enjoy rain
fly a plane
go to spain
use your brain
Be insane
start again
let people know
how you feel about them
express your love
before you're above
Actually, do what you want
but enjoy every moment
cause life can be painfully short
Be sure to carry out everything you wanna do
Every single little thing that truly matters to you
You'll never be able to know when your time will be
So even if you're young, death is something you should foresee
It will be too late when you're dead
too late when you're dead
too late when you're dead
