Record Company Man

You’ll rent me limousines
Fine wines
All kinds of things
The best this world can buy
You’ll own my publishing
And take my master tapes
While I just work for hire
Hear you say that I’m in debt to the sky
Show me all my sales figures that you hide

Record company man
Record company man
I don’t think I want my future in your hands
Record company man
Just don’t understand
Why it seems to be that you don’t give a damn about music man

Recording studios
That you know cost the earth
The way they’ve always done
Release a greatest hits
That I’ve had no say in
After my race has run
You keep me on the road just to pay my rent
All that I feel for you is nothing but contempt

Repeat Chorus

I’ll have nothing to console me
After you have bought and sold me
So I’ll keep an independent stand
Just to have some royalties in my bank

Repeat Chorus
