lyrics

Well the drummer's on the phone
We can rehearse in his garage
Someone broke into the van and made off with Jimmy’s guitar
All the pros and cons telling you, you can’t miss
All the pros and cons giving you the Judas Kiss

The label called last week
They say they want to see us there
They haven’t heard the tunes
They like the way we comb our hair
All the pros and cons trying to get ahead
All the pros and cons put a price on your head, that’s all they do

Why don’t you listen to reason?
Why don’t you listen to reason?
Why don’t you listen to reason?
Why don’t you listen to reason?
Why don’t you listen to reason?
Why don’t you listen to reason?
Now

All the pros and cons giving you big ideas
All the pros and cons developing your career

Why don’t you listen to reason?
Why don’t you listen to reason?
Why don’t you listen to reason?
Why don’t you listen to, listen to?
Why don’t you listen to reason?
Why don’t you listen to reason?
Now
