about
Act 2:
The band aims to spread the word. Our heroes are tested.
lyrics
Get Back in the Van:
John: It's fucking cold, even for Sioux City
My beer won't pour out of the can
I'll load the gear, settle up with the man
You all go warm up in the van
Yeah, let's get back in the van
We swore an oath, we spit in the same cup
We're volunteers, we raised our hands
It's been six months, okay a year
Time means nothing in the van
Right, let's get back in the van
The band: We wanna weigh in, and we want a way out
John: Why don't we sing
Let's all join in as one: la-la-la, la-la-la-la
We will be heard, spring will thaw our toes
We'll laugh we almost quit the plan
Please, let's get back in the van
The band: We wanna weigh in, and we want a way out
John: Help me work it out!
