The Whole Dang Security Team

V6

[Intro — Male Vocal, Playful and Rhythmic] There he is. Major Strike. Still standing there Like he's inspecting the place. [Verse 1 — Male Vocal, Conversational] Strike was my commanding officer Back when we wore the green. He had a way of finding dirt Where no one else had seen. Now he guards our shows and watches While the band is on the road. I found him sitting at my desk With both his boots up on it. [Verse 1 — Male Vocal, Playful] I said, “You know I run things here?” He said, “That's what I've heard.” “Then why's your ass behind my desk?” He shot back, “Move me, turd.” I shoved his boots down to the floor. He put them back and grinned. I said, “That's coming off your paycheck.” “Wait, you're paying me, my friend?” [Pre-Chorus — Male Vocal, Building] We spent a lifetime trading shots, And neither one can leave it be. He used to give the orders. Now he's taking them from me. [Chorus — Male Vocal, Catchy and Playful] He's the whole dang security team! Standing by the door! Got a look that says, “Behave yourself,” Or you'll be on the floor! Yeah, the whole dang security team! One man standing guard! He'll keep the trouble off the stage And the boys out in the yard! [Verse 2 — Male Vocal, Rhythmic] He watches over every show And knows who's coming through. He'll lend a hand or show you out, Depending what you do. At home, the boys call him Uncle Conrad. They've got him wrapped around their hands. He says he's keeping them in line. Then they're off making other plans. [Verse 2 — Male Vocal, Amused] Josiah came to help us load. He saw Strike standing at the gate. He looked around and asked me, “Where's the rest? Are they running late?” Strike crossed his arms and raised a brow. Josiah said, “One bloke? That's your team?” I said, “That's everyone we need.” Strike said, “You hear that? Everyone.” [Chorus — Male Vocal, Catchy and Playful] He's the whole dang security team! Standing by the door! Got a look that says, “Behave yourself,” Or you'll be on the floor! Yeah, the whole dang security team! One man standing guard! He'll keep the trouble off the stage And the boys out in the yard! [Instrumental — Funky Bass, Crunchy Guitar and Electric Violin] [Bridge — Male Vocal, Warm and Sincere] He lost an eye protecting Marines. He doesn't need to tell that tale. I know the kind of man he is. I've seen him stand when others fell. He keeps my family safe at home. That's more than I could ever pay. So if he wants to steal my chair, I'll let him have it for today. [Final Chorus — Male Vocal, Big and Celebratory] He's the whole dang security team! Standing by the door! If you're looking for a friend of mine, That's Strike you're looking for! Yeah, the whole dang security team! One man standing guard! He's family to the boys and me, Though we give each other hell! He's the whole dang security team! [Outro — Male Vocal, Relaxed and Amused] I told Strike, “Get out of my chair.” He said, “Come make me.” I went and found another chair.
