[VERSE 1: Andy C & Dizzy Dustin] We're the opening act and we're here tonight At a club near you with the band you like In fact, it's your favorite band, you're a superfan Who wouldn't miss it for the world, so you thought up a plan You bought your tickets in advance, you left your house on time You drove 45 minutes, then you waited in line And when you finally got in and made your way to the stage You were very disappointed when we started to play We're the opening act, please try to be patient We been writing songs and rehearsin in our basement This isn't just a gig, it's a place to be seen And a chance to be heard, see, we're chasin a dream And we truly hope that you'll enjoy the way we entertain So when you go home you'll remember our name We know you waited two years for your favorite band to tour But you're stuck watchin us who you never heard before [CHORUS] We're the opening act Some people even poke fun and they laugh But most just drink and smoke in the back Know why? We're the opening act (Boom-chick-boom-boom-chick) [VERSE 2: Andy C & Dizzy Dustin] We're the opening act, we get drinks and snacks And a backstage pass and some money for gas The stage manager asks, "Are you ready to go?" There's only 50 people here and it's a sold out show Can't we wait until the club is full? "No, you gotta hurry" "The schedule says you need to be done by 8:30" 8:30, why so early, there's a line around the block? "No one cares about the band in the opening spot" We're the opening act, we don't have any hits The club owner and the show promoter don't know we exist So we're never on the flyers or the marquees It's so quiet when we play, I hear people drop their car keys A couple people rock, a couple people boo But most just wish that we were through So the biggest cheer we get is when I say, "Here's the last song" Cause they know the headliner is about to come on We're the opening act, we hope you have a nice evening We'll keep working harder and we'll never stop believing Maybe some day we'll ride the tour bus And you'll be coming out to see us But for now we're the opening act (On with the show) (We're gonna be in yo town soon) We're the opening act To the people on the right We're the opening act (On with the show) (Even when promoters give us the cold shoulder) We're the opening act To the people on the left Somebody say I wanna rock right now, come on Say I wanna rock right now, everybody Say I wanna rock right now, anybody Come on, say I wanna rock right now, please (You guys suck) We are - the opening act That's us Ugly Duckling Enjoy the show Here we go
