Don't Let the Record Label Take You Out to Lunch - Jeffrey Lewis/Jack Lewis/Anders Griffen[00:00:00]

Don't let the record label[00:00:11]

Take you out to lunch [00:00:12]

You're the one that's got[00:00:13]

To pay at the end of the day [00:00:14]

And try not to want people to like you too much [00:00:15]

You'll just need more and more[00:00:18]

Flattery to recharge your batteries [00:00:19]

And don't let showmanship[00:00:21]

Become more important than honesty [00:00:22]

If you don't want to be so many things you see [00:00:23]

You don't have to act crazy to do something amazing [00:00:25]

You can be just like you should[00:00:28]

And still do something really good [00:00:29]

And even when you know there's nobody listening [00:00:31]

Say it to yourself because it's good to your health [00:00:33]

I know nothing makes sense if you think too much [00:00:36]

Religion a pigeon radios and television [00:00:38]

Though it takes so much strength just not to suck [00:00:41]

And not to be a cynic but defer another gimmick [00:00:43]

But you are distraught at the[00:00:46]

Thought of losing everything again [00:00:47]

And they say it's not the way[00:00:48]

You play the game but if you win [00:00:50]

But don't let the record label take you out to lunch [00:00:51]

Because every sip of soup is going to get recouped [00:00:53]

And you get a good review[00:00:56]

And then you get a bad review [00:00:57]

But don't get suckered either way[00:00:59]

Because none of them know you [00:01:00]

But don't let the record label take you out to lunch [00:01:01]

Because they'll call you a cab and put it on your tab [00:01:03]

I'm leaving town for a while but I'll be in touch [00:01:06]

One thing that I know is true is that I got a lot to do [00:01:08]

And that it takes big heart to make great great art [00:01:11]

And I'm just a little dot in the great big pot [00:01:14]

But now that I have started and it's hard to stop [00:01:16]

I'm wondering at night about the wrong and right [00:01:19]

And is someone your savior[00:01:21]

If you owe them back a favor [00:01:23]

No they are not so there's[00:01:24]

Only one choice that you got [00:01:25]

Don't let the record label take you out to lunch [00:01:27]

Though the fishes look delicious[00:01:29]

Someone's got to do the dishes [00:01:30]

People might say you're insane[00:01:32]

Or just looking to complain [00:01:33]

And you need them the more than they need you [00:01:34]

So don't bite the hand that feeds you [00:01:37]

Everyone has been fair and nice[00:01:39]

And you consider them a friend [00:01:40]

But everything still has a pricing[00:01:41]

You don't want to overspend [00:01:42]

Because it's your wallets and[00:01:42]

Your soul when the check comes in the end [00:01:43]

No matter what the situation art love or occupation [00:01:45]

I'll hold off on the hors d'oeuvres [00:01:47]

It is not what I'm in it for [00:01:48]

I only want what I deserve [00:01:50]

I want no less I want no more[00:01:51]
