Tom Petty, The Heartbreakers - Joe lyrics

[Tom Petty, The Heartbreakers - Joe lyrics]

My name's Joe, I'm the CEO
Yeah I'm the man makes the big wheels roll
I'm the hand on the green-light switch
You get to be famous, I get to be rich

Go get me a kid with a good-looking face
Bring me a kid can remember his place
Some hungry poet son-of-a-bitch
He gets to be famous, I get to be rich

Or bring me a girl, they're always the best
You put 'em on stage and you have 'em undress
Some angel whore who can learn a guitar lick
Hey! Now that's what I call music!

Well, they'll come looking for money
When the public gets bored
But we'll fight 'em with lawyers
They could never afford
Yeah, I'll make her look like
A spoiled little bitch


She gets to be famous, I get to be rich

Or bring me a girl, they're always the best
You put 'em on stage and you have 'em undress
Some angel whore who can learn a guitar lick
Hey! Now that's what I call music!

So burned-out Johnny thinks the
Books are shifty
What good is that alky to me when he's fifty?
Well we could move catalog
If he'd only die quicker
Send my regards to the gig and
A case of good liquor

He gets to be famous, I get to be rich
He gets to be famous, I get to be rich
My name's Joe, I'm the CEO
I'm the man that makes the big wheels roll
