Pay to Play
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wanna make a fast buck on rock'n'roll
Club owners and promoters
With their eyes on the dough
Open their doors to bands that wanna play
They charge an absurd price at the door
Gettin richer while bands stay poor
We won't kiss ass, we'll do it our way
We're punks, not idiots
And we don't pay to play, no!
Pay to play - sick of being treated like shit
We'll play benefits and we'll play for friends
But no asshole is making money off my band
We won't kiss ass, we'll do it our way
We're punks, not idiots
And we don't pay to play, no!
Think you're pretty clever
Think you're so slick
But we'll boycott your club
Cause we're getting sick
That your club's surviving
Thanks to the bands and the people
That you're treating like shit
