lyrics

Bright lights and big smiles
Money stacked in big piles
Too bad it doesn't mean a thing
You used to have a family
A wild carefree community
But now they can't afford your shows
Your songs they used to mean something
Your shows were worth remembering
Now memory is the only thing you know
You excuse it all away
Your own ideals to betray
Finding joy in playing the numbers
Not your songs
It's become a job to you
A workweek that you just get through
No passion no purpose and no soul
It's nothing more than business now
From the first chords until you bow
A tribute to the golden bull
A song of praise to capital
An offering to gods insatiable
It's a not that never rings true

But before the final blow-off
Doing nothing, comes the part
Where if someone's gonne suffer
Should you pay them for their art?
