Big American Headliner

Had me a dream, almost obscene
 Never had a dream any finer
 Had me a taste, in the land of waste
 And that dream we chased as we became
 The big American headliner
 Foamin' at the mouth, as we up and headed south
 South of the parallel forty-niner
 Had us a dream, of Rolling Stone magazine
 And all the girls they'd scream as we became
 The big American headliner
 Vision of sold out shows, candy for your nose
 In America anything goes, as we soon would find
 It doesn't matter what the place is, you can act like Oasis, '
 Till yer blue in the faces and you become
 The big American headliner
 Leno said he loved our sound, we're the talk of tinseltown
 Everyone and their dog came around, to the scene, to be seen
 We did our guest spot on Friends, played our songs on Letterman
 Looked towards the mighty yen, 'cause the Japanese, the Japanese.
 Love
 The big American headliner
 Woke up in a hotel room, downtown Saskatoon
 Gotta leave this afternoon for Regina
 Betty has got us an opening slot, these warm-up gigs never pay a lot
 My patience nerves and credit shot, tonight we open for
 (Hey keep the door!)
 The big American headliner
 Oh yeah!
 And we gotta be on at niner!
 Oh yeah!
 And we can't use their drum riser!
 Oh yeah!
 So we steal their fuckin' rider!
 Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
 The big American... headliner.
 Ooh-ooh!
