Rough Trade

Lyrics

Record boss said we would be a smash Yeah, go straight to number one He talked of hits and tours and lots of cash And all the time it wasn't on And I believed every word he said And I swallowed every line Yeah I believed every word was true And I didn't find out in time We were betrayed, betrayed, betrayed Betrayed, betrayed by Rough Trade lies Betrayed by lies! We quit our jobs and got all set to fly Your promises had us riding high And it's a dirty rough tough trade we find "Yeah we agreed, but they hadn't signed Sorry, son, gonna have to throw you Our lawyers say we don't even know you" Music is money, kids are no-account fools You trade in us, we get betrayed by you We were betrayed, betrayed, betrayed Betrayed, betrayed by Rough Trade lies Betrayed by lies! And you're sitting there In you're London office snug and warm And you think that you've won But remember this is just round one We're gonna do it our way We're gonna make it on our own Because we've found people to trust People who put music first Won't be betrayed, betrayed, betrayed Won't be betrayed no more No lies no more! Why can't you tell us the truth? Why can't you tell us the truth? (Why did you lie to us?) Why can't you tell us the truth? (Why did you lie to us?) Why did you lie to us? Why did you lie to us? Why did you lie to us? Why did you lie to us? Why did you tell us your lies?
