You Can't Polish A Turd
You wearing those fake Beetle Boots
You gonna need a new career
Imitation leather and plastic zipper
You’re gonna get a new career

Who wants to be in a band?
[Yeah]
Who wants to rock and roll?
[I do]
Wanna be part of a musical group?
[Wooo]

Fake news
I don’t want that fake stuff
Stop playing with a butter knife
That’s all good, play-acting

Who wants to be in a band?
[Yeah]
Who wants to rock and roll?
[I do]
Wanna be part of a musical group?
[Wooo]

You think it’s easy
You think it’s easy being in a band?
Wrong priorities
Misguided intentions
Ironic distance just reenforces convention

Always trying to pull some bird
Always being on the make
Always…
Always…
Always getting tired, come on

Who wants to be in a band?
[Yeah]
Who wants to rock and roll?
[I do]
Wanna be part of a new musical group?
[Wooo]

Come on
[Yeah]
Who wants to rock?
[I do]
Who wants to roll?
[I do]
Wanna be part of a musical group?
[Wooo]

You wearing those fake beetle boots
You got your custom cut suit
But it’s all imitation
You’re gonna need a new career
