[00:08.68]Well the word was out on the street today
[00:17.18]All the friends that I'd met would have to say
[00:25.60]While your records line the shelves
[00:29.70]You're fighting amongst yourselves
[00:33.69]That's a hell of a lot of dues for you to pay
[00:41.42]Well the word my friend you know is on the street
[00:49.45]It's on the lips of everyone I meet
[00:57.64]While you're climbing up the chart
[01:02.24]Your band just fell apart
[01:06.20]I guess your life just ain't really that complete
[01:13.68]You know your car with which I was impressed
[01:21.34]Well I hear that it's gonna be repossessed
[01:29.82]Well I thought you had it made
[01:33.61]But you ain't even paid
[01:37.62]for the things that you've bought since the acid test
[01:45.09]I hear you manager skipped town with all your pay
[01:53.20]And your lead singer's bulge turns the censors grey
[02:01.09]Well that's really a doggone shame
[02:05.51]But who's there left to blame
[02:09.56]And all you ever really wanted was just to play
[02:16.85]They say your drummer he's crazy as a loon
[02:24.78]Last night they found him baying at the moon
[02:32.85]As for your lead guitar
[02:37.10]He just cracked up his car
[02:40.91]But he should be out of traction very soon
[02:48.18]Well my friend, it's time for me to go
[02:56.41]I just can't be late for my evening show
[03:05.20]You see I've written this tune
[03:08.49]And I hope that very soon
[03:12.39]I'll be heard on Top 40 radio
