Well the word was out on the street today
All the friends that Id met would have to say
While your records line the shelves
Youre fighting amongst yourselves
Thats a hell of a lot of dues for you to pay
Well the word my friend you know is on the street
Its on the lips of everyone I meet
While youre climbin up the chart
Your band just fell apart
I guess your life just aint really that complete
You know your car with which I was impressed
Well I hear that its gonna be repossessed
Well I thought you had it made
But you aint even paid
For the things that youve bought
Since the acid test
I hear you manager skipped town with all your pay
And your lead singers bulge turns the censors grey
Wall thats really a doggone shame
But whos there left to blame
And all you ever really wanted was just to play
They say your drummer hes crazy as a loon
Last night they found him baying at the moon
As as for your lead guitar
He just cracked up his car
But he should be out of traction very soon
Well my friend its time for me to go
I just cant be late for my evening show
You see Ive written this tune
And I hope that very soon
Ill be heard on top 40 radio
