Me, I’m just one manUp on the stage I make my standYes, it’s true I have a bandUp here behind meWhile you, you’ve got your crewand the Secret Service tooand your wife from the EUBut you’re no good at rhymingSo hey, get down off that stageWe’ve heard everything you’ve got to sayYou’ve been calling all the shotsYou’ve got us all tied up in knotsC'mon man, get off the stageNow me, I spend half of my lifeIn an Econoline vanWith my band and my wifeAnd when she steps up to the micI’ve seen grown men burst out cryingWhile you, you’ve got an ugly mouthYou got no heart at all, except for your Russian palYou’re an obstruction in democracy’s bowelAnd the patient is dyingSo come down off that stagePlease get off the stageCome on down and take a seatWe’ll put some John Prine on repeatAll we’re asking is get off the stageif you were an automobileYou’d be out of gasWith four flat tiresAnd a smog check that’s never gonna passIf you were a pair of socksYou’d be full of holesYou’re one bad hombreSo why don’t you just turn aroundAnd go homeAnd maybe do something with that hairTake a walk in the parkVisit a renaissance fairYou’re headed for prison, you knowBut don’t be scaredThe first time is the hardestJust get down off that stageWe’ve heard everything you’ve got to sayTake a book down off the shelfTry to love somebody elseWhatever you do, just get off the stage
