The Family Business

Flip

Look

Through the leather-bound pages of a book

This business is a business and it's run by crooks

You won't ever have what you never took

and

Inhale

Curse

Immediately quite charming and well versed

A compliment he pays me sounds rehearsed

I try and say something but he gets there first

and he wonders how my music makes profit

I'm not here for profit stop it twist it bop it

and he wonders how my music makes profit,

I'm not here for profit stop it twist it bop it

A lottery in a monopoly

All of this is getting on top of me

Everybody's got their self expression until it infringes a company's property

and

Pause Start

I have to have an image for my art

I'll stop wearing my heart on my sleeve

and start wearing my sleeves on my heart

and he wonders how my music makes profit

I'm not here for profit stop it twist it bop it

and he wonders how my music makes profit

I'm not here for profit stop it twist it bop it

Who wants to be famous

I'd rather rot and die

Come and witness

If your dad worked for an abattoir

And if you worked for Spotify

I'd call that the family business

All right then, fine then

Pretty eyes but nothing behind them

If you've got the money for an early retirement

You can give the money to the people that you signed then and

Inhale Curse

I've gotta write new lyrics for a verse

but every time I see a headline online

I can't tell the difference between a limo and a hearse

and he wonders how my music makes profit

I'm not here for profit stop it twist it bop it

and he wonders how my music makes profit

I'm not here for profit stop it twist it bop it

Who wants to be famous

I'd rather rot and die

Come and witness

If your dad worked for an abattoir

And if you worked for Spotify

I'd call that the family business
