rough trade

Record boss said, 'We would be a smashYeah, go straight to number one'
He talked of hits and tours and lots of cash
And all the time it wasnt on
And I believed every word he said
And I swallowed every line
Yeah, I believed every word was true
And I didnt 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
The promises had us ridin high
And its a dirty rough tough trade we find
Yeah, we agreed but they hadnt signed
Sorry son, gonna have to throw you
Our lawyers say, we dont even know you
Music is money, kids have 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 youre sittin there in your
London office, snug and warm
And you think that youve won
But remember this is just round one
Were gonna do it our way
Were gonna make it on our own
Because weve found people to trust
People who put music first
Wont be betrayed, betrayed, betrayed
Betrayed, wont be betrayed no more
No lies no more
Why cant you tell us the truth?
Why cant you tell us the truth?(Why did you lie to us?)
Why cant 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?
