Chuck Mead No Requests lyrics

WELL YOU MOVE TO A SPOT
WHERE YOU THINK YOU GOT
MY EAR ON EVERYTHING
AND THAT’S A LOT, BUT MAYBE NOT
BUT MY MIND RUNS FREE
WHEN YOU TALK TO ME
AND YOU TELL ME HOW TO SING
THAT MELODY, JUST LET ME BE

I DON’T CARE HOW LOUD YOU SHOUT
OR HOW BIG A FAN YOU ARE
YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW
THAT SONG AIN’T IN MY REPERTOIRE
THIS BAND DON’T TAKE NO REQUESTS

YOU BEAT OUT THE TIME TO MAKE ME MARCH IN LINE

HOW MUCH EFFORT DID YOU WASTE
WHILE YOU WASTED MINE? I AIN’T LYIN
YOU WANNA RUN THE SHOW BUT ALL YOU KNOW
IS HOW FOOT IN MOUTH TASTES
AND EATING CROW—-WOULD YOU LIKE IT TO GO?

ALL OF YOUR INSISTENCE ONLY GETS YOU SO FAR
YOU SHOULD BY NOW THAT SONG AIN’T IN MY REPERTOIRE
THIS BAND DON’T TAKE NO REQUESTS (X2)
