Agent provocateurs
P.R. people, songsters and gangsters
Surrounded by them all
I went along, enjoyed it all
Ready with a song
Small time scandal got out on bail
Been up and down and bounced around
And found through it all
I've earned the right to fail
By trying different styles
Going down different trails
As long as you love your music
You've earned the right to fail
You've earned the right to fail
Liars and criers, media gurus
Wheelers and dealers do anything for you
Dancers, chanters and genuine stars
Blood in your veins like electric guitars
News headlines and gossip mags
Telling you your life is a drag
Your soul is strong, you love the song
Hammer on nail, you earned the right to fail
Success is a pleasure but it's no measure
Of what you're looking for
But still they're out to kill
But where is their thrill
If you don't care
You've earned the right to fail
You've earned the right to fail
