Sell Out

Well I know you can't work in fast food all your life

But don't sign that paper tonight

She said "But it's too late"
Then, I don't remember what I read
I don't remember what they said
I guess it doesn't matter
Guess it doesn't matter anymore
'Cause you're gonna go to the record store

You're gonna give 'em all your money "

Radio plays what they want you to hear

They tell me it's cool, I just don't believe it
Sell out, with me, oh yea
Sell out, with me tonight

The record company's gonna give me lots of money and

Everything's gonna be alright
No more flipping burgers putting on my silly hat, you know

I don't want that no more
And I didn't ask when we'd get paid
I quit my day job anyway
I guess it doesn't matter
Guess it doesn't matter anymore
'Cause you're gonna go to the record store
You're gonna give 'em all your money

Radio plays what they want you to hear
Tell me it's cool, I just don't believe it
Sell out, with me, oh yea

Sell out with me tonight
The record company's gonna give me lots of money

And everything's gonna be
And I don't think it'll be so bad

And I know it won't be so bad

'Cause the man said "That's the way it is"

And the man said "It don't get better than this"

No, no, no
So I signed on to the record company

They say they're gonna give me lot's of money
If I play what they want you to hear

Tell me it's cool, and I'll sure believe it
Sell out, with me, oh yea

Sell out with me tonight
The record company's gonna give me lots of money

And everything's gonna be alright
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
The record company's gonna make everything alright
