Song Description

About becoming successful by paying people off

Lyrics

I love to sing and I love this song
So I learned to play the guitar
I got no money and I got no breaks
I got my friends and they say I go far
So I pack up my things and I move into town
I make a song in the studio
I go to the man I say please play my song
I want to hear this on the radio
He say

Payola man, we don?t care who you are
The money talks and the bullshit walks my friend
Payola man, you want to be a big big star
The money talks and the bullshit walks my friend

So I sell my song and I go back home
I get a job washing big black cars
I keep playing my song I keep playing my song
But I know I will never go far
Then one day I am washing the car
I hear my song on the radio
I go to the phone I ring up the man
I say please tell me tell me what you know
He say

Payola man, we don?t care who you are
The money talks and the bullshit walks my friend
Payola man, you want to be a big big star
The money talks and the bullshit walks my friend

So now I live on top of the hill
I got a big black car of my own
I keep playing my song I keep playing my song
I sip wine on my patio
People say I am a big success
They want to know how I get so far
I say I don?t know I?m just a fortunate boy
I?m just made to be a big star
