The trials of the music industry

lyrics

I sing and you sell songs so we're stuck together
Without me there's no you, Do you remember?
Cause the need for my dreams you hold and make me the beggar
Build me up so high up and drop me whenever
you choose but we lose when you sell 'whatever'
you think is in for the moment, no honesty-just clever
This business of music can lead to treasure
Treasure for better or worse forever

Lost nomenclature, record label, dictator
Trend maker, I am him risk- take her
out to lunch as we finish up
card declined, now I'm in a rut
My route I found it wasn't clear though
My friends think I am a weirdo
Weird for what? Doing big things?
Doing what I love saying real things?
All these nouns, I am always learning
Learning business cause I am yearning
to give you product that I've been earning
I've earned this shhhh…
be quiet, no need to talk
I'm stylish


I sing and you sell songs so we're stuck together
Without me there's no you, Do you remember?
Cause the need for my dreams you hold and make me the beggar
Build me up so high up and drop me whenever
you choose but we lose when you sell 'whatever'
you think is in for the moment, no honesty-just clever
This business of music can lead to treasure
Treasure for better or worse forever

I work for the industry, man what's up?
If you're trying to get in with talent
good luck, you're ffff what?
I can't hear you
that's probably cause I don't care dude
I'm just about the money and I'm your maker
You're the Titanic and I'm the glacier
You may be great but I'll find another
The public won't care cause you're just a number
Lottery pick your art will suffer
s-s-s-s suspect moves I make
Anything you play I take
Then I sell, I own your stake
of this company you made

I sing and you sell songs so we're stuck together
Without me there's no you, Do you remember?
Cause the need for my dreams you hold and make me the beggar
Build me up so high up and drop me whenever
you choose but we lose when you sell 'whatever'
you think is in for the moment, no honesty-just clever
This business of music can lead to treasure
Treasure for better or worse forever

The juxtaposition is the real code
So I'll use this song as my ammo
Shoot my ideas as this song flows
That's why I point out both sides of an ego

I sing and you sell songs so we're stuck together
Without me there's no you, Do you remember?
Cause the need for my dreams you hold and make me the beggar
Build me up so high up and drop me whenever
you choose but we lose when you sell 'whatever'
you think is in for the moment, no honesty-just clever
This business of music can lead to treasure
Treasure for better or worse forever
