The Cats - When It Sells lyrics

Your company is only in for money And honest managers are hard to find On your own you'll never hit the big time And when you do the taxman robs you blind Although your fans wil tear the place to pieces You'll never ever get a good review The press won't spill a word on your next album And you won't get the airplay if they do Just tell the whites it's country and western Just tell the blacks it's rhythm and blues Just tell the intellectuals it's jazzrock And when it sells just tell them they can choose Romantic highway life is only boring You never get a decent meal to eat The songs you write are mostly pretty ballads And all your fans just like a drivin' beat You know that d** are ruining your body You know speed k**s so you're just getting pissed And off the booze you only live on downers So you will not regret the chicks you missed Just tell the whites it's country and western Just tell the blacks it's rhythm and blues Just tell the intellectuals it's jazzrock And when it sells just tell them Just tell the whites it's country and western Just tell the blacks it's rhythm and blues Just tell the intellectuals it's jazzrock And when it sells just tell them they can choose
