Washed-Up Rock Star Factory Blues |
| Well, I done a lot a singing about stick it to the man |
| Today’s the day he’s gonna stick it right back if he can |
| Having trouble with authority works better in a song |
| They’re gonna take that job and shove it right back at me all day long |
| Well, my last couple head a records they wasn’t hits |
| And the turnout at my shows well it’s been down a little bit |
| I never thought the party’d ever stop |
| I never thought I’d punch another clock |
| Well, the foreman said «Hey rock star! |
| Welcome back!» |
| «Fill out these forms now, we’re gonna need your autograph» |
| Well, I remember what I told him when I quit |
| I remembered, and I cringed a little bit |
| Well, I done a lot a singing about stick it to the man |
| Today’s the day he’s gonna stick it right back if he can |
| Having trouble with authority works better in a song |
| They’re gonna take that job and shove it right back at me all day long |
| «Well, here’s your backstage pass to the warehouse boiler room» |
| That’s what he said as he handed me my broom |
| «Now don’t be sittin' down now son it ain’t your break time yet» |
| «I guess you’re used to them 75 minute sets» |
| Well, I picked up the pen with the purchase order slips |
| The boss said «Watch him boys! |
| He’s gonna write a hit!» |
| «You an artist man, ain’t no bout a doubt it!» |
| «So when you paint the back fence be kind of sensitive about it» |
| Well, I done a lot a singing about stick it to the man |
| Today’s the day he’s gonna stick it right back if he can |
| Having trouble with authority works better in a song |
| They’re gonna take that job and shove it right back at me all day long |
| Well, I woke up on the tour bus in a sweat |
| From about as bad a nightmare as you can get |
| Well, after all maybe these bad guys ain’t so bad |
| Considering the kind of dreams that I just had |
| And after all maybe this drive don’t seem too long |
| I think I’m gonna work a little harder on these songs |
| Well, I done a lot a singing about stick it to the man |
| Today’s the day he’s gonna stick it right back if he can |
| Having trouble with authority works better in a song |
| They’re gonna take that job and shove it right back on me all day long |
| Yeah, they’re gonna take that job and shove it right back at me all day long! |
