Down By Law - True Music Lyrics

Well ouch, last night
I was bitten by the bug of success
They said your record's doing great
Maybe it can even do better yet

So we made a video
But I must admit it wasn't me
Smiles and lies from the suits and ties
That light the big blue screen

Well, I must admit for just one day
I let all that bullshit get in the way
But I won't do it again
I just want to play true music

Well, the reviews have been great
And I thank all the scribes so sincerely
From the smallest to the biggest fanzines
I love you dearly

And college radio
I support with all my might
Don't tell me what they say in spin
'Cause size don't make it right

But I must admit for just one day
I let all the bullshit get in the way
But it won't happen again
I just want to play true music

So don't call me about it on the phone
Don't ask me when we're going gold
I'm trying not to think about being bought and sold
We'll some sell millions, some sell nothing at all

And I've done well, had success
And stayed true through it all
But I never did want to own my own limousine
If music had a color, I know it wouldn't be green

Well, I must admit for just one day
I let all that bullshit get in the way
But it won't happen again
I just want to play true music
