Roadie Lyrics
Well it's 3pm, time to lug the gear
Gotta get it on the stage
My muscles flex, my fuckin' sweat will save the day
When I check the mic, I fuckin' check the mic
I fuckin' checka-checka one, two, three
I plug it in, I make a sound as good as can be
Cause the rockers rock, but the roadies roll
Gotta take mic because I take control
Gotta get that shit up on that fuckin' stage
Because the roadie knows what the roadie knows
And the roadie knows that he wears black clothes
And he hides off in the shadows off the stage
Because the roadie
Looks a thousand miles with his eyes
And when the crowd roars
Brings a tear drop to the roadie's eyes
Tears are cried
Because he brought you the show
But you will never know
He's changing the strings
While hiding in the wings
No matter how hard, the show must go on
Then a beautiful girl come to me
She say, "Hey can I sucka your dick?"
I say, "Yays, I am in love"
Then she quickly say, "I sucked your dick
Now give me that backstage pass
I do not want you roadie, I want KG's chode"
I'm standing at the threshold of your dreams
Without me there'd be no sound from those amps
Without me there'd be no lights on the stage
But you don't applaud for me
No, I am the roadie!
Lonesome warrior searching for the soul
No, I am the roadie!
I make the rock go!
Roadie, roadie, roadie!
Gotta get it on the stage
My muscles flex, my fuckin' sweat will save the day
I fuckin' checka-checka one, two, three
I plug it in, I make a sound as good as can be
Gotta take mic because I take control
Gotta get that shit up on that fuckin' stage
And the roadie knows that he wears black clothes
And he hides off in the shadows off the stage
Looks a thousand miles with his eyes
And when the crowd roars
Brings a tear drop to the roadie's eyes
Tears are cried
But you will never know
He's changing the strings
While hiding in the wings
No matter how hard, the show must go on
She say, "Hey can I sucka your dick?"
I say, "Yays, I am in love"
Then she quickly say, "I sucked your dick
Now give me that backstage pass
I do not want you roadie, I want KG's chode"
Without me there'd be no sound from those amps
Without me there'd be no lights on the stage
But you don't applaud for me
Lonesome warrior searching for the soul
No, I am the roadie!
I make the rock go!
This song is actually pretty good, I really feel for roadies, total unsung (until now) hero's of rock and roll!
Does this song remind anybody else of Brütal Legend?
I think a lot of Tenacious D's songs have a deeper meaning but they use humorous lyrics to cover them up. I think this song, for example, is about someone who works very hard but no matter how hard they try, nobody recognizes or appreciates them.
