Neil Young, the Shocking Pinks - Payola Blues lyrics
[Neil Young, the Shocking Pinks - Payola Blues lyrics]
Wherever you go, whatever you do
Because the things they're doing today will
Make a saint out of you payola blues
I've got the payola blues even though
I already paid my dues
Listen to me Mr dJ
Hear what I've got to say
If a man is making music
They ought to let his record play
Payola blues no matter where I go I never
Hear my record on the radio
"Well, here's three thousand
That ought to get it on"
"Well, thanks a lot man! I
Love your new song" payola blues
No matter where I go I never
Hear my record on the radio
It goes like this
I got a brand new record company
New manager too got a great new record I
Can't get through to you payola blues
No matter where I go I never
Hear my record on the radio
How about this new Mercedes Benz? That
Ought to get it on
Well, thanks a lot man! I'll
Play it all day long payola blues
No matter where I go I never
Hear my record on the radio
I've got the payola blues, payola blues
I'm paying those payola blues
No matter where I go
I never hear my record on the radio
