paul simon - wristband lyrics

i stepped outside the backstage door to breathe some nicotine
and maybe check my mailbox, see if i can read the screen
then i heard a cl1ck, the stage door lock
i knew just what that meant
i’m gonna have to walk around the block if i wanna get in

wristband, my man, you’ve got to have a wristband
if you don’t have a wristband, my man, you don’t get through the door
wristband, my man, you’ve got to have a wristband
and if you don’t have a wristband, my man, you don’t get through the door

i can’t explain it, i don’t know why my heart beats like a fist
when i meet some dude with an att-tude saying “hey, you can’t do that, or this”
and the man was large, a well-dressed six-foot-eight
and he’s acting like saint peter standing guard at the pearly…

wristband, my man, you’ve got to have a wristband
you don’t have a wristband, you don’t get through the door
and i said “wristband? i don’t need a wristband
my axe is on the bandstand, my band is on the floor”

i mean it’s just…
[scat]
(wristband)
(wristband)
(wristband)
(wristband)
(wristband)
(wristband)
(wristband)

the riots started slowly with the homeless and the lowly
then they spread into the heartland towns that never get a wristband
kids that can’t afford the cool brand whose anger is a short-hand
for you’ll never get a wristband and if you don’t have a wristband then you can’t get through the door
no you can’t get through the door
no you can’t get through the door
say you can’t get through the door, no
