Rip off Train
Young man made it to the city
Searching through the wet streets
Looking for a rock n roll band
Caught the rip off train to freedom
A line of agents holding out their hand
Work your arses off forever
Midnight highways really bring you down
But youre there and youre working
So dont complain so many miss the train
Find a sound lay it down
They say its underground
Starts to sell do it well
But you never can tell
Now the young mans star shines brightly
Breaking hearts his records in the charts
Finds it hard to freak twice nightly
Falls in love the hardest fall of all
Find a sound lay it down
They say its underground
Starts to sell do it well
But you never can tell
He was just a lonely boy
A very well known clown
He was just a lonely boy and down
Find a sound lay it down
They say its underground
Starts to sell do it well
But you never can tell
Searching through the wet streets
Looking for a rock n roll band
Caught the rip off train to freedom
A line of agents holding out their hand
Work your arses off forever
Midnight highways really bring you down
But youre there and youre working
So dont complain so many miss the train
Find a sound lay it down
They say its underground
Starts to sell do it well
But you never can tell
Now the young mans star shines brightly
Breaking hearts his records in the charts
Finds it hard to freak twice nightly
Falls in love the hardest fall of all
Find a sound lay it down
They say its underground
Starts to sell do it well
But you never can tell
He was just a lonely boy
A very well known clown
He was just a lonely boy and down
Find a sound lay it down
They say its underground
Starts to sell do it well
But you never can tell
