| [00:06.88] | I don’t want to leave my home to do a tour with crummy pay |
| [00:10.14] | But if they make an offer to you whatcha really gonna say? |
| [00:13.57] | It’s hard to play an empty room, it’s hard to book a tour |
| [00:16.66] | So you pray some bigger band might say that you can come support |
| [00:20.20] | It might be a hassle, it’s a tragedy, a parody |
| [00:23.20] | But how you gonna haggle when you know it’s only charity? |
| [00:26.48] | Support tours, it’s iffy, $250 at the best, but they know a thousand others who would do the tour for less |
| [00:32.88] | Support tours, you gotta understand the situation, a band needs having patience for the vast humiliation |
| [00:39.86] | So you hit the open road and ate a lot of crazy gravel |
| [00:43.04] | With good songs and decent merch I always found a way to travel |
| [00:46.44] | But you found that booking tours can be more trouble than it’s worth |
| [00:49.62] | Who'd see your unknown band when there’s ten million on the Earth? |
| [00:52.81] | So the bassists scan the web for any tours that get announced on it |
| [00:56.21] | And if no support’s confirmed that’s when you take a leap and pounce on it |
| [00:59.28] | Support tours, drummers who are nice can turn cold-hearted |
| [01:02.33] | So you can’t return them home owning less money than they started |
| [01:05.75] | Support tours, the bassist has to grit those teeth and face it |
| [01:08.87] | Pay to stay in hotel? No way! It’s work, not a vacation |
| [01:12.75] | And after many sleazy years you nearly have your own career |
| [01:16.00] | And you can book a little tour and you can pick where you appear |
| [01:19.30] | Now you pick the tour supports so of course like chicken pox |
| [01:22.77] | Every band you ever met all pop up quick in you inbox |
| [01:25.95] | And they wanna know if there’s support acts that are yet confirmed |
| [01:29.13] | So you make them awful offers cause I guess it’s just your turn |
| [01:32.49] | Support tours, I’m in it for the money, is that funny? |
| [01:35.46] | I’m a working class musician with no funding in my country |
| [01:38.97] | Support tours, I’m thinking out my best when I get desparate |
| [01:42.01] | Find a way to make it pay cause it’s my job not an investment |
| [01:45.46] | Support tours, the sweet and sour secret of the trade |
| [01:48.42] | You learn to squeeze in every way to turn the lemons lemonade |
| [01:51.97] | Support tours, I gotta find a way to make it work |
| [01:54.84] | Till I just cut so many corners I get dizzy from the circle |
| [02:00.74] | I don’t want to leave my home to do a tour with crummy pay |
| [02:03.82] | But if they make an offer to you whatcha really gonna say? |
| [02:07.39] | "Hey Jeffrey, nice to hear from you |
| [02:08.84] | Yeah we have availed April 11 to May 15 |
| [02:11.19] | The tour starts in Omaha, you’ll be the first act out of three |
| [02:13.69] | The budget is $50 to $150 a night, but I’ll see if I can up that a little in the major markets for you |
| [02:17.93] | But we can’t have you on the bill in Portland, San Francisco, or Seattle, cause we were just down there last month |
| [02:21.91] | Let us know what you say, we’re announcing tomorrow" |
| [02:23.97] | Oh, terrible offer, let me think about it...Yes! |

| [02:23.97] | Oh, terrible offer, let me think about it... Yes! |
| [00:06.88] | 我不想离家巡演只为那点微薄酬劳 |
| [00:10.14] | 但当邀约找上门来又能怎么拒绝掉？ |
| [00:13.57] | 空荡场地难表演 巡演预订更煎熬 |
| [00:16.66] | 只能祈祷大牌乐队施舍暖场通告 |
| [00:20.20] | 像是荒诞悲剧 又像滑稽戏 |
| [00:23.20] | 明知是慈善施舍哪有讨价余地 |
| [00:26.48] | 暖场巡演 行情低迷 顶多二百五美金 可他们认识上千乐队愿为更低价卖命 |
| [00:32.88] | 暖场巡演 你要认清现实处境 乐队需要忍耐数不尽的羞辱欺凌 |
| [00:39.86] | 于是你踏上公路 咽下碎石尘土 |
| [00:43.04] | 靠好歌和周边 我总找到谋生路 |
| [00:46.44] | 但预订巡演常是赔本生意 |
| [00:49.62] | 地球千万乐队谁看你无名小卒？ |
| [00:52.81] | 贝斯手刷遍网页找刚公布的巡演 |
| [00:56.21] | 若暖场未定 就立刻扑向这机会 |
| [00:59.28] | 暖场巡演 再友善的鼓手也会心寒 |
| [01:02.33] | 总不能让人家回家时比出发更穷酸 |
| [01:05.75] | 暖场巡演 贝斯手要咬紧牙关 |
| [01:08.87] | 自费住酒店？休想！这是工作不是度假玩 |
| [01:12.75] | 混迹多年终于快熬出头 |
| [01:16.00] | 现在能自定行程办小型巡演 |
| [01:19.30] | 轮到你来选暖场乐队 结果像水痘爆发 |
| [01:22.77] | 所有认识乐队瞬间塞爆你邮箱 |
| [01:25.95] | 都来打听暖场名额是否还有空缺 |
| [01:29.13] | 你开出苛刻条件 毕竟现在轮到你来虐 |
| [01:32.49] | 暖场巡演 我为钱奔波很可笑吗？ |
| [01:35.46] | 我是工人阶级乐手 祖国没有资助啊 |
| [01:38.97] | 暖场巡演 穷途末路时绞尽脑汁 |
| [01:42.01] | 想方设法赚生活费 这是工作不是投资 |
| [01:45.46] | 暖场巡演 这行酸甜苦辣的秘辛 |
| [01:48.42] | 学会榨干每个机会 把酸柠檬变柠檬饮 |
| [01:51.97] | 暖场巡演 必须找到生存之道 |
| [01:54.84] | 直到投机取巧到 自己在圈里转晕掉 |
| [02:00.74] | 我不想离家巡演只为那点微薄酬劳 |
| [02:03.82] | 但当邀约找上门来又能怎么拒绝掉？ |
| [02:07.39] | "嘿杰弗里 很高兴你联系 |
