The Popes - Rock 'N' Roll Band lyrics

Been up all night, talking shite, taking pills and dope

Left Shane in the morning when he was running out of coke

Took a cab to my place, to try to get some sleep

When I got there all I got was thrown out on the street

No more, I can't take it, I can't take no more

A monkey on my shoulder always showing me the door

No more, I can't take it, gotta find a plan

Jesus Christ it's a hard old life playing in a rock and roll band

Got a call from a music hall over in the USA

Gonna fly us out there to play on Paddy's Day

We all meet up in Billy's pub to talk about the show

Shane falls off the barstool, breaks his fucking hip

No more, I can't take it, I can't take no more

New York's out the window, singer's on the floor

No more, I can't take it, gonna make a stand

Jesus Christ it's a hard old life playing in a rock and roll band

Tired of all the hotels, the glowing of tvs

Tired of all the nightclubs, the parties and the sleaze

Tired of all the cocaine, the groupies, and the girls

But most of all we're sick and tired of playing with ourselves

No more, I can't take it, I can't take no more

New York's out the window, singer's on the floor

No more, I can't take it, gonna make a stand

Jesus Christ it's a hard old life playing in a rock and roll band

No more, I can't take it, I can't take no more

Got a monkey on my shoulder always showing me the door

No more, I can't take it, gonna make a stand

Jesus Christ it's a hard old life playing in a rock and roll band
