Sell Out Sell Out |
| Mama don’t need to Ph.D. |
| in sociology |
| To be aware of the revolution happening in the streets |
| Papa said trends keep changing like the tides upon the sea |
| I’m gonna jump on the wagon now to rest my aching feet |
| I’ve made up my mind and I’m gonna get my piece too |
| Now is the time there isn’t a day to lose |
| I’ve had it to here just watching that world go by This is the year that either we do or we die |
| Sell out, sell out that’s the name of the game |
| Sell out, sell out that anybody can play |
| Sell out, sell out I think you know what I mean |
| Sell out, sell out crank up that funk machine |
| I’m tired of breaking my back to please |
| Critics who can’t be pleased |
| It’s time I looked out for number one |
| Time I looked out for me |
| I’ve gotta face the reality of living in the real world |
| Before I end up an old man feeding peanuts to the squirrels |
| I finally heard the little voice in my head |
| It gave me the word you wanna know what it said? |
| Don’t be a sap get rid of that cross you bear |
| 'Cause taking the rap won’t make you a millionaire |
| Sell out, sell out can’t pay no bills with your pride |
| Sell out, sell out I know 'cause baby I tried |
| Sell out, sell out it’s easy once you concede |
| Sell out, sell out that love ain’t all you need |
| Play that funky music play that funky beat |
| Play that funky music love ain’t all you need |
| The ivory tower’s fallen down |
| The nickels and dimes are spent |
| I’ve given up castles in the air |
| I couldn’t afford the rent |
| Every man has his selling price |
| I’m taking the highest bid |
| Come out of the clouds, Sir Rupert said |
| And do what Stevie did |
| (Peddle yourself!) Peddle yourself you’d better take my advice |
| Or sit on the shelf he couldn’t be more precise |
| Don’t get me wrong I’d hate to be misconstrued |
| But stringing along it’s the only left to do Yeah sell out, sell out you’ve gotta move with the times |
| Sell out, sell out or they’ll surely leave you behind |
| Sell out, sell out there’s no sweeter sound than the crash |
| Sell out, sell out of freshly minted cash |
| Play that funky music play that funky beat |
| Play that funky music love ain’t all you need |
| Sell out sell out sell out |
| Sell out sell out sell out |
