klaatu - sell out, sell out (demo) lyrics

[intro]
mama don’t need no ph.d. in sociology
to be aware of the revolution happening in the street
papa said trends keep changing like the tides upon the sea
i’m gonna jump on the wagon now to rest my aching feet
i’ve made up my mind (made up my mind)
i’m gonna get my piece too
now is the time (now is the time)
there isn’t a day to lose
i’ve had it to here (had it to here)
just watching that world go by
this is the year (this is the year)
that either we do or we die

[chorus 1]
sell out, sell out
yeah that is the name of the game
sell out, sell out
that anybody can play
sell out, sell out
i think you know what i mean
sell out, sell out
crank up that funk machine

[verse 1]
i’m tired of breaking my back to please
the jokers who can’t be pleased
it’s time i looked out for number one
it’s time i looked out for me
i’ve gotta face the reality of living in the real world
before i end up an old man stealing peanuts from the squirrels
i finally heard (finally heard)
the little voice in my head
it gave me the word (gave me the word)
you wanna know what it said?
don’t be a sap (don’t be a sap)
get rid of that cross you bear
’cause taking the rap (taking the rap)
won’t make you a millionaire
[chorus 2]
sell out, sell out
yeah that’s the name of the game
sell out, sell out
oh, anybody can play
sell out, sell out
i think you know what i mean
sell out, sell out
crank up that funk machine
sell out, sell out
can’t pay no bills with your pride
sell out, sell out
oh, i know ’cause baby i tried
sell out, sell out
it’s easy once you concede
sell out, sell out
that love ain’t all you need

[bridge]
play that funky music
play that funky beat
play that funky music
love ain’t all you need

[verse 3]
the ivory tower’s fallen down
the nickels and dimes are spent
i’ve given up castles in the air
i couldn’t afford the rent
every man has his selling price
i’m taking the highest bid
come out of the clouds, sir rupert said
and do what stevie did
peddle yourself! (peddle yourself)
you’d better take my advice
or sit on the shelf (sit on the shelf)
he couldn’t be more precise
don’t get me wrong (don’t get me wrong)
i’d hate to be misconstrued
but stringing along (stringing along)
it’s the only left to do
[chorus 3]
sell out, sell out
yeah that’s the name of the game
sell out, sell out
that everybody will play
sell out, sell out
don’t you know what i mean?
sell out, sell out
crank up that funk machine
sell out, sell out
you’ve gotta move with the times
sell out, sell out
or they’ll surely leave you behind
sell out, sell out
there’s no sweeter sound than the crash
sell out, sell out
of freshly minted cash

[outro]
play that funky music
play that funky beat
play that funky music
love ain’t all you need
play that funky music (sell out)
play that funky beat (sell out)
play that funky music (sell out)
love ain’t all you need (sell out, sell out)
play that funky music (sell out)
play that funky beat (sell out)
play that funky music (sell out)
love ain’t all you need (sell out, sell out)
play that funky music (sell out)
play that funky beat (sell out)
