[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Well, the word was out on the street today
~#**************#~
All the friends that Id meet would have to say
~#**************#~
While your records line the shelves
~#**************#~
Youre fighting amongst yourselves
~#**************#~
Thats a hell of a lot of dues for you to pay
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Well the word, my friend, you know is on the street
~#**************#~
Its on the lips of everyone I meet
~#**************#~
While youre climbing up the chart
~#**************#~
Your band just fell apart
~#**************#~
I guess your life just aint really that complete
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
You know your car, with which I was impressed
~#**************#~
Well, I hear that its gonna be repossessed
~#**************#~
Well, I thought you had it made
~#**************#~
But you aint even paid
~#**************#~
For the things that youve bought since the acid test
~#**************#~
[Verse 4]
~#**************#~
I hear you manager skipped town with all your pay
~#**************#~
And your lead singers bulge turns the censors gray
~#**************#~
Well, thats really a doggone shame
~#**************#~
But whos there left to blame?
~#**************#~
And all you ever really wanted was just to play
~#**************#~
[Verse 5]
~#**************#~
They say your drummer, hes crazy as a loon
~#**************#~
Last night they found him baying at the moon
~#**************#~
And as for your lead guitar
~#**************#~
Hes just cracked up his car
~#**************#~
But he should be out of traction very soon
~#**************#~
[Verse 6]
~#**************#~
Well, my friend, its time for me to go
~#**************#~
I just cant be late for my evening show
~#**************#~
You see Ive written this tune
~#**************#~
And I hope that very soon
~#**************#~
Ill be heard on top forty radio
