You have a band and you're good to go
It's quite tough, of course, you know
Your folks say, "Boy, you better find a job
Because the music biz doesn't pay a lot"
It's true and cruel and hard to start
And not about individual art
It's making sense quite a lot
Not
Wham-bam, baby, nice but no
Thank you, baby, but thank you, no
Quite good and maybe I should, ah
But, baby, if I would, I could
Wham-bam, baby, nice but no
Thank you, baby, but thank you, no
It's quite good and it's understood
But I'll be gone for good
Nice
But no
Nice
But no
You have a hit on the radio
It's good loot, of course, you know
You've picked your poison, but you're doing strong
'Cause you sound like somebody else's song
You steal a line or copy parts
And look good in the streaming charts
It's the only way to the top
Not
Wham-bam, baby, nice but no
Thank you, baby, but thank you, no
Quite good and maybe I should, ah
But, baby, if I would, I could
Wham-bam, baby, nice but no
Thank you, baby, but thank you, no
It's quite good and it's understood
But I'll be gone for good
Nice
But no
Nice
But no
It's your turn, baby, and you're good to go
But they don't want you on the radio
Is it you or them or the songs you make? No!
You can't please everybody on your way
So grab your piece of the motherfucking cake, let's go!
Just give 'em the rock
The only thing that your haters can't block (But no!)
They're gonna say it's a hype
But forget about all the work and the fights (Let's go!)
You choose that way
You got beats in your blood and you came here to stay (But no!)
You want more to come
Then they wanna shake hands, but no (Let's go!)
Wham-bam, baby, nice but no
Thank you, baby, but thank you, no
Quite good and maybe I should, ah
But, baby, if I would, I could
Wham-bam, baby, nice but no
Thank you, baby, but thank you, no
It's quite good and it's understood
But I'll be gone for good
Wham-bam, baby, nice but no
Thank you, baby, but thank you, no
It's quite good and it's understood
But I'll be gone for good
Nice
But no
Nice
But no
Nice
But no
Nice
Nice
But no
