Lyrics
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.
The band would like to come to your festival
What does it take to make it happen?
What do you mean we need to talk about some numbers?
What do you mean this is the way all things are handled?
It is the purpose of my work, you can't discard, I can't condone
It is too bad we must reject, you hear me out
It's a shame, pay to play
Better be clever whatever they say
It's a shame, pay to play
Never surrender, remember your game
I worked so hard, that's quite some time I have invested
I rent the room, I pay the trip, I manage extras
I take the risk now, you take no hassles
I take the spot nobody wants, and have to pay for
No wonder bands are going to quit, the cost is high, the system weak
No wonder why I disbelieve, you hear me out
It's a shame, pay to play
Better be clever whatever they say
It's a shame, pay to play
Never surrender, remember your game
If I was you I would not try to double, cross
I can't sit still anymore
And if you ask me one more time kick you all
No wonder bands are going to quit, the cost is high, the system weak
No wonder why I disbelieve, you hear me out
