I'm in the Band
Empowering Rebellion: "I'm in the Band
Lyrics
I can see what you're going to say to me
I anticipate your response or criticism
If I don't explain it away i'm in the band
If I don't offer an explanation, I'm part of the band
And I deserve to be here and I do anyway
I have the right to be here, and I belong regardless
Alright, alright alright, alright
An expression of enthusiasm or agreement
We don't listen to what you say
We don't pay attention to your words
Girls get busy, not in the way
Girls engage in activities, but not as you might think
Girls make music, we're here to stay
Girls create music and are here to stay
(Hey, hey hey)
An exclamation, possibly indicating excitement or emphasis
No, I'm not a tortured artist
Denial of being a tormented artist
Torture you with one of my songs
I won't torment you with my songs
It's not market-tested to impress you
Rejecting the idea of creating music for commercial appeal
Until you move on
Music is not crafted to impress, but until you move on
You can have anything you want
You can have anything you desire
Without a heart, you're always wrong
Without a heart, your choices are always wrong
Alright, alright alright, alright
An expression of enthusiasm or agreement
We don't listen to what you say
We disregard what you say
Girls get busy, not in the way
Girls are active, but not in the way you might assume
Girls make music, we're here to stay
Girls create music, and their presence is enduring
(Hey, hey hey)
An exclamation, possibly indicating excitement or emphasis
We don't need sophistication
We don't require sophistication
We just make up things we like
We create things we enjoy without the need for complexity
Every reason to make music
Every reason to create music, not just for work
9 to 5, don't make you right
A critique of the conventional 9-to-5 lifestyle
We'll be playing every night
We'll perform every night
And I'll be punk for the rest of my life
Commitment to a punk lifestyle indefinitely
Alright, alright alright, alright
An expression of enthusiasm or agreement
We don't listen to what you say
We ignore what you say
Girls get busy, not in the way
Girls are active, but not in the way you might assume
Girls make music, we're here to stay
Girls create music, and their presence is enduring
(Hey, hey hey)
An exclamation, possibly indicating excitement or emphasis
Alright hey!
An enthusiastic expression or call to attention
