marsicano's arc - cover band hack lyrics

Loading...

in the corner of some small-town bar
a man with a dad bod plays an expensive guitar
playing the same forty songs he played forty times before
for free beer and his share of the door

back in high school, his dreams were set too high
absorbing cl-ssic rock from days long gone by
suggest new songs to him and he’ll just ask why
forty years of modern rock have just p-ssed him completely by

(chorus):
cover band hack
you could be better than that
if you looked beyond the same old hits
cover band hack
you might get people to dance
but you’ll never amount
to sh-t

he thought the hair band days would lead to his big break
thinking that he’d join the next warrant and be known from state to state
but the days of guitar heroics would be ending before long
he cursed the rise of grunge because it focused on writing songs

he joined ascap and put out his own cd
it could have been the start of his town’s dischord or sst
but to him, it was a demo to entice elektra or a&m
and when there were no takers he never made his own music again

(chorus)
(solo)

he thought he’d make it big as the next stevie ray vaughan
gave up too soon then kept wondering what went wrong
for twenty years he was a weekend warrior ‘cause he thought his chances p-ssed him by
he compromised himself too low because he set his dreams too high

in the corner of some small-town bar
a man with greying hair plays an expensive guitar
playing the same 40 songs he played 400 times before
until he has a stroke and his -ss gets carried out the door

(final chorus):
cover band hack
you never were all that
except in your own mind
if that
cover band hack
you could’ve been better than that
but you never amounted
to sh-t
