Wristband - Paul Simon

作曲：Paul Simon

I stepped outside the backstage door to breathe some nicotine

And maybe check my mailbox see if I can read the screen

Then I heard a click the stage door lock

I knew just what that meant

I'm gonna have to walk around the block

If I wanna get in wristband my man

You've got to have a wristband

If you don't have a wristband

My man you don't get through the door

Wristband my man

You've got to have a wristband

And you don't have a wristband my men

You don't get through the door

I can't explain it

I don't know why my heart beats like a fist

When I meet some dude with an attitude saying hey

You can't do that or this

And the man was large

A well dressed six foot eight

And he's acting like saint peter standing guard at the pearly

Wristband my man you've got to have a wristband

You don't have a wristband

You don't get through the door

And I said wristband I don't

I don't need a wristband

My axe is on the bandstand

My band is on the floor

I mean it's just

Wristband

Wristband

Wristband

Wristband

Wristband

Wristband

Wristband

The riots started slowly

With the homeless and the lowly

Then they spread into the heartland towns

That never get a wristband

Kids that can't afford the cool brand

Whose anger is a short hand

For you'll never get a wristband

And if you don't have a wristband

My mind you don't get through the door

No you don't get through the door

Wristband no you can't get through the door

'Cause you can't get through the door

Wristband

Wristband

Wristband

Wristband
