Waiting to Sell Out
People ask us why we sing, they say we really dig your stuff
You must really love the things you do, is it enough
You've all got university degrees that should be a start
You can get a job a car a life, do you do it for the love of art
Integrity and honesty usually mean poverty
Attention in the media won't buy financial solvency
We're just here to have some laughs we don't want to lead in fashion
We don't want a record deal as long as we get the cash in
'cause we're waiting to sell out
Our GNP is what we're all about
Our budget's low, our costs are high
Without your help we'll surely die
My name is Mike and I can't afford to eat
My name is Trevor and I live out on the street
My name is Chris..... (ramble on)
So if you..... buy our tape
So if you..... buy our tape
So if you..... buy our tape
Scat
'cause we're selling out that's what we do
Is ten dollars too much to ask of you and you and you
This is the last of us you'll see unless we pay our PUC (public utilities)
We give you laughter we work and slave
So don't be the bastard that never gave
Ten dollars can go so far, you'll see us spend it at the bar
Buy our tapes or our CDs, we'll pay the GST
Got no cash, what the heck, we'll even take a cheque certified of course....
'cause we're waiting to sell out
If you don't buy our stuff we're going to pout
Think about this if you don't buy
Next set we sing American Pie
(blah blah blah)
'cause we're waiting to sell out....
oooooh.
