Dishonourable Profession
This is a dishonourable profession
Brought about by people who think right
First will take a kid and when he's earned a bit
We'll fleece him
Push him on the stage
Then push him to one side
This is a dishonourable profession
Even thieves would treat their own more kind
And the man who gets his ten percent
Will go on to become a president
While you will just barely survive
Such is a dishonourable profession
Where success however great is despised
And while you say that you are in it only for the music
Managers and agents view this with delight
Such is a dishonourable profession
Once you've passed the age of 35
Your career is as good as up
Though your songs might still be good enough
The business is saying bye-bye (bye-bye)
Sign on the dotted line
And soon, you'll be in the big time
Making a fortune for, let's see
The management and the record company
Such is a dishonourable profession
Once you've passed the age of 35
Your career is as good as up
Though your songs might still be good enough
The business is waving bye-bye (bye-bye)
This is a dishonourable profession
Brought about by people who think right
First will take a kid and when he's earned a bit
We'll fleece him
Push him on the stage
Then push him to one side
This is a dishonourable profession
Even thieves would treat their own more kind
And the man who gets his ten percent
Will go on to become a president
While you will just barely survive
Such is a dishonourable profession
Where success however great is despised
And while you say that you are in it only for the music
Managers and agents view this with delight
Such is a dishonourable profession
Once you've passed the age of 35
Your career is as good as up
Though your songs might still be good enough
The business is saying bye-bye (bye-bye)
Sign on the dotted line
And soon, you'll be in the big time
Making a fortune for, let's see
The management and the record company
Such is a dishonourable profession
Once you've passed the age of 35
Your career is as good as up
Though your songs might still be good enough
The business is waving bye-bye (bye-bye)
This is a dishonourable profession
