Paroles de 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

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
