Dishonorable Profession

This is a dishonorable 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 dishonorable profession

Even thieves would treat their own more kind

And the man who gets his ten per cent

Will go on to become a President

While you will just barely survive.

Such is a dishonorable profession where success

however great is despised

Ana while you say that you are In it only for the music

Managers and agents view this with delight.

Such is a dishonorable profession

Once you've passed the age of thirty-five

Your career is as good as up

Though your songs might still be good enough

The business is saying bye bye.

Sign on the dotted line

And soon you'll he in the big time

Making a fortune for let's see

The Management and the record company

Such is a dishonorable profession
