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! |
