You wanna see your favorite act
But you make a mistake and you can't come back
If they don't like your looks, you don't get to see the show
Bayou bouncers, fucking clowns really got to go
Don't be fooled
If you get inside
If you're a punk

You wanna see your favorite act
But you make a mistake and you can't come back
If they don't like your looks, you don't get to see the show
Bayou bouncers, fucking clowns really got to go
