Big Time Operators - Van Morrison[00:00:00]
Written by:Van Morrison[00:00:01]
Well they told me to come on over[00:00:44]
I made my way to New York[00:00:47]
And they tried to have me deported[00:00:50]
Stop me from getting work[00:00:54]
Blacklisted me all over[00:00:58]
They were vicious and they were mean[00:01:02]
They were big time operators[00:01:10]
Baby on the music business scene[00:01:15]
Oh they looked like politicians[00:01:24]
But underneath they were thugs[00:01:26]
And they spread malicious rumors[00:01:30]
Threatened to have me busted for drugs[00:01:34]
They had nothing on me yeah[00:01:37]
Oh man I was really clean[00:01:41]
But they were big time operators[00:01:49]
On the music business scene[00:01:55]
They put a bug in my apartment[00:02:02]
To listen in on my calls[00:02:06]
I was looking for some motivation[00:02:09]
I couldn't find any any motivation at all[00:02:12]
They were very desperate people[00:02:16]
Riding in long black limousines[00:02:21]
But they were big time operators[00:02:28]
On the music business scene[00:02:34]
They were glorified by the media[00:03:21]
They were heroes who had names[00:03:25]
They said that they would bury me[00:03:28]
If I didn't play their game[00:03:31]
They said I didn't know the score[00:03:34]
And that I was young and green[00:03:38]
They were big game operators[00:03:46]
On the music business scene[00:03:51]
Tried to hold me to a phony contract[00:04:00]
I said I didn't agree[00:04:03]
Had to get out of the clutches[00:04:06]
Had to go underground you see[00:04:09]
Now I'm living in another country[00:04:11]
But I know exactly just where I've been[00:04:16]
Stay away from big time operators[00:04:24]
Baby on the music business scene[00:04:28]
Well baby big time operators[00:05:13]
On the music business scene[00:05:20]
Oh baby big time operators[00:05:26]
On the music business scene[00:05:31]
Well full of names and places[00:05:39]
Baby you know who I mean[00:05:44]
