about

Max and former bass player Rob write about avoiding getting ripped off by the music industry.

lyrics

They offered us two dollars
For a CD they sell for twenty
Offered us a shiney advance
To be paid back to them in full

Is that the way
Is that the way to ride the gravy train

They promised us first class tickets
Send us travelling playing music
Ride the wave while it pays
No getting off while others are waiting

Don't sell us fame
Don't sell us fortune
We've got enough of our own
If we want limousine travel
Well hire a driver to drive our train
