Finale

My world has been the stage Upon which I've played I’ve one thing left to say I can't take another day The empty little clubs The shrieking of the jets All the notes I flubbed Is the van ride over yet? The smell of spilled stale beer The ringing screaming in my ears The broken gear I've had for years Does the owner know we're here? To all the fans out there To the listeners on the air To the bots on the Internet Remember to forget Remember to forget about me Remember to forget about us Remember to forget my name Remember to forget yesterday After all these years The finale is finally near I'll smash this here guitar and burn the pieces, too I'll drown every note of every song that I wrote If it would buy more time with you I’ll take back every word And every riff you heard Unhook the lines and turn off my fans If it would grant me one more chance If you don’t like the trade Ask yourself who’s to blame The deal that you made Somebody had to pay If you feel ripped off Like you didn't get your lot Who do you think’s at fault? Whose name was on it all? Remember to forget all the words Remember to forget the hurt Remember to forget how it goes Remember to forget the shows After all these years The finale is finally here
