The Rebel Black Dot Road Song of the Day


Smash Mouth, "Road Man" from Astro Lounge (The Last Angry Man)

Commentary:
"Road Man driving in the road van,
He's got to beat the clock to the next town,
Road Man driving in the road van,
Set up the sound system for the band.

"Road Man, slow it down
And you will get there safe and sound,
He says, 'No, no, no,
'The show must go on!'

"Road Man driving like a mad man,
Breaking land speed records in the van,
Road man, he don't mind policeman,
Leaving trail of ripped-up citations.

"Road Man, slow it down
And you will get there safe and sound,
He says, 'No, no, no,
'The show must go on!'

"Road Man, heavy load,
He's got to stop and smell the rose,
Road Man, he says, 'No go,
'I've got to be king of the road!'

"Road Man didn't see the train, man,
Until it was too late to slow the van,
Meanwhile, the band is waiting for the Road Man,
Crushed by his beloved sound system.

"Road Man, slow it down
And you will get there safe and sound,
He says, 'No, no, no,
'No, no, no,
'No, no, the show must go on!
'The show must go on!
'The show must go on!
'The show must go on!
'The show must go on!
'The show must go on!"
