lyrics

We just wanted to have some fun and entertain some people
playing music is what we love to do
there are many bands that are much better than us
if you payed the cover you got screwed

because we don't have merchandise (we can't afford it)
we don't have a website (we can't afford it)
we've done two shows so far, and no one knows who we are
but we're in a band, we're in a band
we're in a band, we're in a band
we're in a band, we're in a band, we're in a band

we write our own music and we like to think it's good
but we don't know how original it is
we don't think it's fair for you to make fun of us
it's not like we went to school for this

back in the day we weren't old school, no we didn't have a clue
now all the loser bands get the fucking shaft
so we resolved to fight the fight and take the music back
hold up your lighters now and rage

the people glare at us when we try to get them to dance
so we'll turn the suck down on our amps
we won't amount to a thing, we'll just be happy to sing

we don't have merchandise (we can't afford it)
we don't have a website (we can't afford it)
let me hear you shout because they're kicking us out
but we're in a band..

about

The White Tornado image

The White Tornado Davenport, Iowa

Combine a bluesy, coffee-drinking piano roller and a straightedge synthesizer geek with a Doctor Who penchant and you get the White Tornado - a mean power-piano-trio-backed songwriter who writes songs about life, love, science, and robots.
