[G#] Dude, we really need to find a [B] roadie, man.
No shit.
[Am].
You ready to [D] interview a bunch of new roadie positions?.
Yeah, let's do this.
Alright, let's do it.
Hey, Sebastian, come on in!
.
[F] .
Heard you guys are [Am] looking for the fucking best.
[N] Well, you fucking found him.
[C] [N] I'm just fucking pulling your legs off.
That's a joke.
That's how I really talk.
Oh, shit.
That was intense.
That was super intense, right?.
Nice to meet you [G] guys.
Hey, nice to meet you.
Heard a lot about you.
Pleasure to meet you guys.
So, I guess you've heard we're looking for a roadie.
And a guitar tech.
Someone who can kind of do it all.
[N] And I don't know what bands you've worked with before, but .
You guys heard of Van Halen before?
.
Metallica?.
Wow.
ACDC?.
[F#] [G#] Whoa.
You name it.
I've been there.
Ice Capades?.
Can I ask you this?.
Have you ever [G] worked with [F] Pyro?.
See this match?.
[C] [D] [Em] .
[N] .
Have you guys ever worked with lasers?.
No.
Well, [C] I can [F] pull some strings.
Yeah, that'd be cool.
And [G] the kind of lasers where if you look at them in your eyes, it burns your retinas out.
Real lasers.
That's powerful.
You know what would be rad?.
It'd be like green and red lasers.
Get some different colors.
Of course.
That's the most raddest combination that lasers can ever be.
I guess, just tell you, we've had problems with roadies who like to party a lot.
On the road.
Well, being that I'm ten years sober, I don't think I have a problem with that.
Good.
I'm just trying to make the right affirmative actions and keep my side of the street clean.
If you guys don't look [G#] good, I don't look good.
And let [F#] me tell you this.
I fucking love to look good.
[E] I'm saying we just hire this guy.
[G] Should we just shut down all the interviews?.
[N] Shut him down.
Alright.
Can you start tonight?.
I'd be honored to start tonight.
Alright.
I'm gonna work super hard.
I'm not gonna fucking let you guys down.
I guarantee this will be the best fucking show you guys have [G] done all fucking tour.
Hell yeah.
Tonight.
Alright.
Love it.
You can use that match strict.
Like your back, [N] man.
Sebastian?.
Damn, that guy's cool.
Dude, how kick-ass is that guy?.
That guy is the full package.
I mean, come on.
That guy's so real.
Can you believe who he's worked with?.
That guy's worked with everybody.
You know what?.
That's rock and roll right there.
That's the real rock and roll.
Yeah.
We should be writing songs about that guy.
Yeah.
We could do a whole album on that guy.
Yeah.
How about we write a song right now called Roadie?.
Okay.
Just dedicate it to Sebastian and sing it tonight.
That'd be so cool.
[Em] Alright, let's do it.
.
[D] [E] .
Well, it's 3 p.
m.
Time [Em] to lug the gear.
Got to get it on the stage.
My [D] muscles flex.
My fucking sweat will [E] save the day.
When I check the mic, I fucka [Em] check the mic.
I fucka checka checka one, two, three.
I [D] plug it in.
I make it sound as [E] good as can be.
Cause the rockers rock, but [Em] the roadies roll.
Got to take the mic, I guess I take [D] control.
Got to get that shit up on [E] that fucking stage.
Because the roadie [Em] knows what the roadie knows.
And the roadie knows that he wears [D] black clothes.
And he hides off in the shadows [E] off the stage.
[C] Because the roadie knows what the roadie knows.
And the roadie [A] looks a thousand miles [E] with his eyes.
.
And [C] when the crowd roars, [A] brings a tear drop to [E] the roadies eyes.
Tears of pride, [C] because he brought you the show.
[A] But you will never [C] know, he's changing the strings.
[A] While hiding in the wings.
[C] No matter, [A] .
the show [Em] must go on.
Because the roadie knows what the roadie knows.
.
Been a beautiful girl, come to me.
She say, hey, can I suck on your dick?.
[D] I say, yes, I [E] am in love.
She quickly [F#] say, I [Em] sucked your dick.
And now give me that backstage [D] bass.
I do not want you, roadie.
I want [E] Cage's code.
[C] I'm standing at the threshold [A] of your dreams.
[C] Without me, there'd be no sound [A] from those eyes.
[C] Without me, there'd be no lights [A] on the stage.
But you don't [E] apply for me.
No, I [C] am the roadie.
[A] Lonesome warrior searching [E] for his soul.
No, I [C] am the roadie.
[A] .
I make the [E] rock go.
.
[C] [A] .
Roadie.
[C] Roadie, [A] .
[C] roadie.

This is what I do for you.
This is me doing my thing for you guys.
Hooking you up with the fucking classic trim.
I don't want to make shit awkward, but I'm a little strapped for cash.
You guys carrying any bills or anything I can hook me up with until the next paycheck?.
Oh, jeez, I don't, uh, I got like a Twinsky.
Oh, a Twinsky, that's cool.
What, you two Twinskys?.
Well, uh, yeah.
Oh, three Twinskys.
Oh, four Twinskys.
