THE ARROGANT WORMS - WAITING TO SELL OUT lyrics

rate me

People ask us why we sing, they say we really dig your stuff

You must really love the things you do, is it enough

You've all got university degrees that should be a start

You can get a job a car a life, do you do it for the love of art

Integrity and honesty usually mean poverty

Attention in the media won't buy financial solvency

We're just here to have some laughs we don't want to lead in fashion

We don't want a record deal as long as we get the cash in

Cuz we're waiting to sell out

Our GNP is what we're all about

Our budget's low, our costs are high

Without your help we'll surely die

My name is Mike and I can't afford to eat

My name is Trevor and I live out on the street

My name is Chris..... (ramble on)

So if you..... buy our tape

So if you..... buy our tape

So if you..... buy our tape

Scat

Cuz we're selling out that's what we do

Is ten dollars too much to ask of you and you and you

This is the last of us you'll see unless we pay our PUC (public utilities)

We give you laughter we work and slave

So don't be the bastard that never gave

Ten dollars can go so far, you'll see us spend it at the bar

Buy our tapes or our CDs, we'll pay the GST

Got no cash, what the heck, we'll even take a cheque certified of course....

Cuz we're waiting to sell out

If you don't buy our stuff we're going to pout

Think about this if you don't buy

Next set we sing American Pie

(blah blah blah)

Cuz we're waiting to sell out....

oooooh.
