| Agent provocateurs
|
| P.R. people, songsters and gangsters
|
| Surrounded by them all
|
| I went along, enjoyed it all
|
| Ready with a song
|
| Small time scandal got out on bail
|
| Been up and down and bounced around
|
| And found through it all
|
| I’ve earned the right to fail
|
| By trying different styles
|
| Going down different trails
|
| As long as you love your music
|
| You’ve earned the right to fail
|
| You’ve earned the right to fail
|
| Liars and criers, media gurus
|
| Wheelers and dealers do anything for you
|
| Dancers, chanters and genuine stars
|
| Blood in your veins like electric guitars
|
| News headlines and gossip mags
|
| Telling you your life is a drag
|
| Your soul is strong, you love the song
|
| Hammer on nail, you earned the right to fail
|
| Success is a pleasure but it’s no measure
|
| Of what you’re looking for
|
| But still they’re out to kill
|
| But where is their thrill
|
| If you don’t care
|
| You’ve earned the right to fail
|
| You’ve earned the right to fail |
