I'm livin' the Rock N' Roll dream After workin' all these years I would never give up There's this little obligation I can't run away Has to be done every time The stage's set We're ready to roll Our nightshift has begun Why do we do a soundcheck? It's never the same while playing the show Only an illusion The sound guy is never there on time Now I'm singin' in a rockin' band Sometimes the backstage is our home With all the memories good and bad (But mostly good) We love to be on the road (On the road) It's worth hundred and ten percent Except the soundcheck we have to make Snare drum Bass drum The drum set is on fire baby Amps on Mics set We gonna burn the place down Why do we do the soundcheck? I was twenty four when I started Only an illusion I've lost notion of time and every dime Why do we do a soundcheck? Only an illusion Never the same while playin' the show Why do we do a soundcheck? (Never the same while playin' the show)
