One Man Band

Lights burn my eyes I'll be alright I put my hands on the keys And start playing One chord then four Been done before Can this be called something original? Or am I staying Too true to form? A one man band A lone performer Shouting in a storm? A one man band Ten plays one cent Can't pay my rent The moment no one offers exposure A blizzard brews in hell I'm paralyzed Eyes to the skies Waiting here for something to come to me But don't you dare dwell On what you are A one man band A solo singer A wanna be superstar A one man band Always online Out of my mind Should we really know everything everywhere? Is it time to pay our dues? Try to survive Mistakes aired live Will anything I say be heard at all Over televised news Blaring every minute? A one man band A singing loner Who puts his whole heart in it? A one man band Hot blazing eyes bolted to the ceiling No one else up here to share the feeling Five shows a week would send any man reeling How do you perservere? Solid wood stage rolling like a riptide Caged with glass that I stare through wide-eyed World unravels when a single thread's untied I need a hand out here Out here Out here Out here A one man band Playing for deaf ears
