The red light's flashing high above the stage Rain in the air its always the same Sixty thousand people look on in silence A wild eruption as the band starts to play The level's too high the sound is bad Continuous feedback it drives you mad The top of the bill always get their way Forget the rest they ain't got no say (Chorus) You've got a raw deal, how do you feel Been taken for a ride, no one on your side (Solo) You're quietly content to watch the band play Don't give a damn what the critics say You've got to live for the music, don't you ever abuse it (Chorus)
