The Trade Lyrics - Dri

I'm on a roll 

Out of control 

Another one night stand 

I can't get away 

'Cause I'm on display 

But I can't see you, man 

[CHORUS] 

Smile for the cameras 

Smile for the fans 

Sign their records 

And shake their hands 

Try to stay healthy 

Try to get laid 

Make it to the show 

That's the trade [2] 

I sleep all day 

On the freeway 

On the bus between each gig 

I'm making my living 

Singing my songs 

Doing my thing, dig 

I had a dream 

So I made some plans 

Things have a way of working out 

I found a few people 

And formed a band 

Taught myself to shout 

[REPEAT CHORUS] 

Write down stuff 

You feel strongly about 

Others may feel the same 

And before you know it 

You might be a big star 

And everyone will know your name 

When you learn the trade 

And you're on display 

Everyone knows that name 

Everyone knows our name 

Everyone knows my name
