Barnett Williams - Show Bizness lyrics

Well, they'll guide your new career for only ninety five percent (Well) that leaves enough for fronts like three piece suits and pays the rent Sing the blues and pay your dues and not know who you are Makes you wonder why so many people want to be a star (well) Do you really want to be in show business? The instant high and constant come-and-go business Got you hanging out at places you got no business And people sell their souls Wanna be in show business Wanna be in show business It's all right with me Yeahh, it's alright with me Just as long as you know You're only as important to them as your latest hit That's a precarious position for a plastic king to sit Lawyers' game is double same, your fate is in their hands You're a millionaire without a dime, you just don't understand! (well) Do you really want to be in show business? The instant high and constant come-and-go business Got you hanging out in places you got no business And people sell their souls Wanna be in show business Wanna be in show business It's alright with me Yeahh, it's all right with me Just as long as you know Jumping down a ladder of success that runs both ways And you see all the worst and best--damn near everyday Fans and fans and one-night stands will fill your mind with doubt And on closing day you lucky to say, "down but still not out!" (well) Do you really want to be in show business? The instant high and constant come-and-go business Got you proving exactly how much you don't know business And people sell their souls Wanna be in show business (x8) It's alright with me
