[Verse 1]
CCGG
Me, I’m just one man, up on the stage I make my stand.
AmAmE
Yes, it’s true, I have a band up here behind me.
CCGG
While you, you’ve got your crew and the Secret Service too
AmAmE
and your wife from the EU, but you’re no good at rhyming.
[Chorus]
FGCFGC
So hey, get down off that stage, we’ve heard everything you’ve got to say.
FGCFm
You’ve been calling all the shots, you’ve got us all tied up in knots.
CGCC
C’mon man, get off the stage.
[Verse 2]
CCGG
Now me, I spend half of my life in an Econoline van with my band and my wife
Am Am E R
and when she steps up to the mic I’ve seen grown men burst out crying.
CCGG
While you, you’ve got an ugly mouth, you got no heart at all except for your Russian pal.
AmAmE
You’re an obstruction in democracy’s bowel and the patient is dying.
[Chorus]
FGCFGC
So come down off that stage, please get off the stage,
FGCFm
come on down and take a seat. We’ll put some John Prine on repeat,
CGC
all we’re asking is get off the stage.
[Bridge]
EF
If you were an automobile you’d be out of gas
CG
with four flat tires and a smog check that’s never gonna pass.
EF
If you were a pair of socks, you’d be full of holes,
GG
you’re one bad hombre, so, why don’t you just turn around and go home.
[Verse 3]
CCGG
And maybe do something with that hair, take a walk in the park, visit a renaissance fair.
AmAmE
You’re headed for prison, you know, but don’t be scared, the first time is the hardest.
[Chorus]
FGCFGC
Just get down off that stage, we’ve heard everything you’ve got to say.
FGCFmFm
Take a book down off the shelf, try to love somebody else.
CGCC
Whatever you do, just get off the stage.
[Outro]
