the industry sucks sometimes, but what goes around comes around. Honestly, just hold yer head high and create. Thats all we can do, anyway.

lyrics

the big man’s got a ticket to ride
but he don’t want me to go
I celebrated with my baby tonight...
Now I know that nothing’s happening

it shot me like a dog in the morning fire,
I thought it was greatness calling-
Send me to the floor with the big old bands
now I know that i was wrong

But they will take you, you money thing
you poor-heart, you bleeding soul
and they’ll tell you that you’re not enough
Should've sold yourself to the highest bidder

But they will take you, you money thing
you poor-heart, you bleeding soul
and they’ll tell you that you’re not enough
that you didn’t make the highest bidder

send me consolations not a big idea- I’m ambitious enough.
Play me for the first time, I won’t be waiting on dollar signs
guess I oughta learn when it all comes
you got a life to earn
so I'd just take it by the morning sun

But they will take you, you money thing
you poor-heart, you bleeding soul
and they’ll tell you that you’re not enough
Sell yourself to the highest bidder

they will take you, you money thing
you poor-heart, you bleeding soul
and they’ll tell you that you’re not enough
that you didn’t make the highest bidder

big man’s got a ticket to ride
but he don’t want me to go
I celebrated with my baby tonight
but now i know that nothing’s happening
