Artist/Band: Frank Zappa
Lyrics for Song: If We'd All Been Living In California...
Lyrics for Album: Uncle Meat [1969]



Ok, now you still want to get your name in the magazines

And he wants 500 dollars a month.



Where does it come from?

We worked one gig this month.



And thats....so what do we get?

Two hundred dollars for this gig up here if we're lucky.



If we're lucky, we'll get two hundred.

And it will be two weeks before we get it.

Probably.



I mean after all, what is all this shit in the newspaper,

if we got such a big name, how come....., we're starving man!

This fucking band is starving!

And we've been starving for three years.

I realize it takes a long time but God Damn it!

Does it take another five, ten years from now.



There's some months when you're not going to work as much as other

months. There's some months when you're going to make a lot of money

and if you average it out, you do make more than two hundred dollars a

month.



Expenses are sure high to.

If we'd all been living in California,

it would have been different.



If we'd all been living in California,

we wouldn't have worked at all.



Oh, that's true.

Well, we're not working now anyway.

We worked one gig this month Frank.

What's wrong with getting two months in a row of this good money?



Or three months in a row.



Then we could afford to take three of four months off

and everybody can......

After the first month I can get just enough ahead

but if I had two more months man,

I'll get ahead.

Because i'm not living very extravagantly, i'll tell you for sure.
