Street music
The Bang Gang Lyrics

Standing here on the park of Broadway
I am currently in a park that resides on the famous Broadway street.

I feel astray 'cause my point has glue
I feel lost and uncertain about my place in this world.

Go insane, there's a broken heart for every life on Broadway
It's easy to go crazy on this street, as nearly everyone here has experienced heartbreak and hardship.

If that's the case, there's a few there up for me
Since there are others who have also experienced pain here, maybe I can find my place and someone to relate to.

I've been walking that street alone, I can't remember
I've been walking down this street for so long by myself that it's hard to recall when it all began.

Call me, 'Muscle' is my middle name
Refer to me as 'Muscle', which is part of my name.

But I've gotta pay my rent before that money's all been spent
I have to prioritize paying my rent before spending any extra funds.

I'm gonna make it on that Broadway scene
I aspire to be successful on this famous street and make a name for myself.

I play that low down sound
I play a melancholy and raw style of music.

Got those in mine, got the time
I have the music and the time to spend creating it.

Lover, can you spare a dime sound?
I play music that carries a tone of desperation and a plea for financial assistance.

Audition's takin' place between nine and six
Auditions for potential opportunities are held between the hours of 9am and 6pm.

Waiting tables, change the place at night
I work as a waiter and switch locations when my shift ends for my other jobs.

Selling loafers at the festival helps me to pay the rent
Selling shoes at a festival is one of my other jobs that helps me make my rent payment.

I need to, oh, I really need to
It's imperative for me to work hard and make ends meet.

Success is so near, yet so far away
I am close to achieving success, but it seems so elusive and distant.

Sometimes the price of fame seems to grip
I realize that achieving fame comes with a price that is sometimes overwhelming.

But I'll keep on working in those sleazy bars
I will continue to perform in less-than-ideal venues to get my name out there and make money.

'Cause it's just enough to pay my double tax
It may not be glamorous, but performing in these places is sufficient to pay my bills and taxes.

Street music
I play music on the street, not in a traditional concert venue.

Street music
My style of music is emblematic of the street music genre.

Low down sound
I create a melancholy and raw style of music.
