"Dishonorable Profession" by Gilbert O'Sullivan

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. Sign on the dotted line And soon you'll he
in the big time Making a fortune for let's see The
Management and the record company [Solo] 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 busin
ess is saying bye bye.
