I’m Just a Guy in the Band

When the ship hit the ice far from land,

It was not under my command;

I play, as you see,

“Nearer, My God, to Thee”:

I’m just a guy in the band.

Your life didn’t go as you planned?

There’s things you still don’t understand?

I keep up esprit

When I play; don’t tell me—

I’m just a guy in the band.

No lifeboat, or helpful deckhand?

How should you make your last stand?

This is NTE,

So please don’t ask me:

I’m just a guy in the band.
