If You're Alone, You're in Our Band

Today I'm feeling  there's no tomorrow
A bottle rocket  is all I follow
A little spark and then I'm airborne
A little drunk and maybe lovelorn
Today we sing
To understand and  not to be understood

Up on the rooftop  they'll hear us singing
I know someday  they'll know our names
It ain't about  just what's inside me
It is about what's all around me
Today we sing 
To understand and not to be understood

That's not to say I never get sad
But my complaints they ain't worth a damn
But when I join up with  the band
And let it play

I met a girl and  she saw right through me
Said I would always  act foolishly
So guess what Beth  I'll say it louder
If you're alone  you're in our band now
Today we sing
To understand and not to be understood
