Wristband(Live From A Prairie Home Companion)-
Paul Simon
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 click 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
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 attitude 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
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
My mind you don't get through the door
No you don't get through the door
Wristband you don't get through the door
Wristband
Wristband
Wristband
Wristband
Wristband
