A Song for All Seasons Lyrics
Well the word was out on the street today
All the friends that I'd meet would have to say
While your records line the shelves
You're fighting amongst yourselves
That's a hell of a lot of dues for you to pay
Well the word my friend you know is on the street
It's on the lips of everyone I meet
While you're climbin' up the chart
Your band just fell apart
I guess your life just ain't really that complete
You know your car with which I was impressed
Well I hear that it's gonna be repossessed
Well I thought you had it made
But you ain't even paid
For the things that you've bought
Since the acid test
I hear your manager skipped town with all your pay
And your lead singer's bulge turns the censors grey
Well that's really a doggone shame
But who's there left to blame
And all you ever really wanted was just to play
They say your drummer he's crazy as a loon
Last night they found him baying at the moon
And to as for your lead guitar
He's just cracked up his car
But he should be out of traction very soon
Well my friend it's time for me to go
I just can't be late for my evening show
You see I've written this tune
And I hope that very soon
I'll be heard on Top 40 radio
All the friends that I'd meet would have to say
While your records line the shelves
You're fighting amongst yourselves
That's a hell of a lot of dues for you to pay
It's on the lips of everyone I meet
While you're climbin' up the chart
Your band just fell apart
I guess your life just ain't really that complete
Well I hear that it's gonna be repossessed
Well I thought you had it made
But you ain't even paid
For the things that you've bought
Since the acid test
And your lead singer's bulge turns the censors grey
Well that's really a doggone shame
But who's there left to blame
And all you ever really wanted was just to play
Last night they found him baying at the moon
And to as for your lead guitar
He's just cracked up his car
But he should be out of traction very soon
I just can't be late for my evening show
You see I've written this tune
And I hope that very soon
I'll be heard on Top 40 radio

Sort of a tongue in cheek look at the goings on in the life of a rock band partially based on Jefferson Airplane. Written by then Airplane drummer, the great Spencer Dryden.
