Folksingers we've got it rough Record labels make life tough For anyone not cute enough For girls in junior high Radio stations end up bland Too afraid to take a stand Against the insane demands Of senile corporate guys Who will not give your tape a single play But mention as they're throwing it away If you ain't got the MTV, babe, if you ain't got the MTV They'll never play your song on the radio Wal Mart won't be selling your cd All they want is sugary pop songs And maybe a little r and b And they'll just chuck you in The "alternative" bin If you ain't got the MTV If you passed around plate of shit Some would surely take a bit All it takes to have a hit Is an hour on the air The corporate guys don't play guitar They drive around in fancy cars Sit back chewing fat cigars In comfy padded chairs And they'll never have the guts to play this song Consider that a dare to prove me wrong Chorus 6/99 Copyright 1999 by Adam Selzer, all rights reserved, ASCAP. back to home page |
