About

Ahead of his new album, Stranger To Stranger, Paul Simon releases his first track in five years, “Wristband”.

Simon creates a narrative around a rock musician who is unable to gain re-entry into his own concert because he lacks the wristband required and uses it as a metaphor for the social comment...

Wristband Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I stepped outside the backstage door to breathe some nicotine
And maybe check my mailbox, see if I can read the screen
Then I heard a click, the stage door lock, I knew just what that meant
I'm gonna have to walk around the block if I wanna get in

[Chorus 1]
Wristband, my man, you've got to have a wristband
If you don't have a wristband, my man, you don't get through the door
Wristband, my man, you've got to have a wristband
And if you don't have a wristband, my man, you don't get through the door

[Verse 2]
I can't explain it, I don't know why my heart beats like a fist
When I meet some dude with an attitude saying "hey, you can't do that, or this"
And the man was large, a well-dressed six-foot-eight
And he's acting like Saint Peter standing guard at the Pearly

[Chorus 2]
Wristband, my man, you've got to have a wristband
If you don't have a wristband, you don't get through the door
And I said "wristband? I don't need a wristband
My axe is on the bandstand, my band is on the floor"

[Bridge]
I mean it's just...
[Scat]
(Wristband)
(Wristband)
(Wristband)
(Wristband)
(Wristband)
(Wristband)
(Wristband)

[Verse 3]
The riots started slowly with the homeless and the lowly
Then they spread into the heartland towns that never get a wristband
Kids that can't afford the cool brand whose anger is a short-hand
For you'll never get a wristband
And if you don't have a wristband then you can't get through the door

[Outro]
No, you can't get through the door
No, you can't get through the door
Say you can't get through the door, no
