WHERE THE BANDS ARE

a.k.a. I WANNA BE WHERE THE BANDS ARE

I hear the guitars ringin' out
Ringin' out down Union Street
I hear the lead singer shoutin' out, girl
Now I wanna be a slave to the beat
Yeah, tonight I wanna break my chains
Somebody break my heart
Somebody shake my brains
Downtown there's something that I wanna hear
There's a sound, little girl, keeps ringing in my ear

I wanna be where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are
(Where the bands are)
Where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are
(Where the bands are)

I get off from work and I grab something to eat
I turn the corner and I drive down your street
Little gray houses darling looks like nowhere
But hey I know you're hiding in there
Come on out for just a little while
You know that heart of stone, girl, it just ain't your style
Tonight I wanna feel the beat of the crowd
And when I tell you that I love you
(Tell you that I love you)
I wanna have to shout it out loud
(Shout it out loud)
Shout it out loud

I wanna be where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are
(Where the bands are)
Where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are
(Where the bands are)
I wanna be where the bands are

I hear the guitars ringin' out again
Ringin' on down Union Street
I hear the lead singer shoutin' out girl
I wanna be a slave to the beat
And I want something that'll break my chains
Something to break my heart
Something to shake my brains
There's a rocker's special on tonight
So meet me on down
(Meet me on down)
'Neath the neon lights

I wanna be where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are
(Where the bands are)
Where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are
(Where the bands are)
Where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are
(Where the bands are)
Where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are
(Where the bands are)
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be where the bands are
(I wanna be)
(yeah I wanna be)
(yeah I wanna be)
(yeah I wanna be) where the bands are
(yeah I wanna be)
(yeah I wanna be)
(yeah) I wanna be
(yeah) I wanna be
I wanna be where the bands are

The River outake. LET'S GO is an early version of this song. Played in the Reunion tour. On 29 November 1999 at the Target Centre, Minneapolis, MN, Bruce replaced "where the bands are" by "where the fans are".
