Down by Law

Down by Law - True Music lyrics

well ouch! Last night I was bitten by the bug of success

they said your record's doing great, maybe it can even do better yet

so we made a video but I must admit it wasn't me

smiles and lies from the suits and ties that light the big blue screen

well I must admit for just one day

I let all that bullshit get in the way

but I won't do it again

I just want to play true music!

Well the reviews have been great, and I thank all the scribes so sincerely

from the smallest to the biggest fanzines I love you dearly

and college radio I support with all my might

don't tell me what they say in spin cause size don't make it right

but I must admit for just one day

I let all the bullshit get in the way

but it won't happen again

I just want to play ... true music

so don't call me about it on the phone

don't ask me when we're going gold

i'm trying not to think about being bought and sold

well some sell millions, some sell nothing at all

and i've done well, had success and stayed true through it all

but I never did want to own my own limousine

if music had a color, I know it wouldn't be green

well I must admit for just one day

I let all that bullshit get in the way

but it won't happen again

I just want to play .... true music!
