The red light's flashing high above the stage
Rain in the air its always the same
Sixty thousand people look on in silence
A wild eruption as the band starts to play
The level's too high the sound is bad
Continuous feedback it drives you mad
The top of the bill always get their way
Forget the rest they ain't got no say

(Chorus)
You've got a raw deal, how do you feel
Been taken for a ride, no one on your side

(Solo)

You're quietly content to watch the band play
Don't give a damn what the critics say
You've got to live for the music, don't you ever abuse it

(Chorus)
