Washed-Up Rock Star Factory Blues

Well I done a lot a singing about stick it to the man Today's the day he's gonna stick it right back if he can Having trouble with authority works better in a song They're gonna take that job and shove it right back at me all day long Well my last couple head a records they wasn't hits And the turnout at my shows well it's been down a little bit I never thought the party'd ever stop I never thought I'd punch another clock Well the foreman said "Hey rock star! Welcome back!" "Fill out these forms now, we're gonna need your autograph" Well I remember what I told him when I quit I remembered, and I cringed a little bit Well I done a lot a singing about stick it to the man Today's the day he's gonna stick it right back if he can Having trouble with authority works better in a song They're gonna take that job and shove it right back at me all day long "Well here's your backstage pass to the warehouse boiler room" That's what he said as he handed me my broom "Now don't be sittin' down now son it ain't your break time yet" "I guess you're used to them 75 minute sets" Well I picked up the pen with the purchase order slips The boss said "Watch him boys! He's gonna write a hit!" "You an artist man, ain't no bout a doubt it!" "So when you paint the back fence be kind of sensitive about it" Well I done a lot a singing about stick it to the man Today's the day he's gonna stick it right back if he can Having trouble with authority works better in a song They're gonna take that job and shove it right back at me all day long Well I woke up on the tour bus in a sweat From about as bad a nightmare as you can get Well after all maybe these bad guys ain't so bad Considering the kind of dreams that I just had And after all maybe this drive don't seem too long I think I'm gonna work a little harder on these songs Well I done a lot a singing about stick it to the man Today's the day he's gonna stick it right back if he can Having trouble with authority works better in a song They're gonna take that job and shove it right back on me all day long Yeah they're gonna take that job and shove it right back at me all day long!
