Well the record company's goin' out of business

They price the records too damn high

And the boys in the band could use some assistance

Well the record company's goin' out of business

They price the records too damn high

And the boys in the band could use some assistance

Get a daytime job just to get by

Well the P.D.'s they won't play the record

They're too worried about that book

And the D.J's they all hate the song

But they're in love with the hook

Chorus

So na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

I bet you've heard this song before

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Take your cocaine and hit the door

Well folk rock, punk rock, power pop music

Turned out to be the latest trends

And ther ain't no more progressive music

The business has put it to an end

Ol' "Rolling Stone" has gathered some moss

No they ain't what they used to be

They try to look like "Look" with their political pages

And advertising all over T.V.
