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 was true  Yeah I swallowed every line  I believed every word he said  And I didn't find out in time    [Chorus]  We were betrayed, betrayed, betrayed,  Betrayed, betrayed by rough trade lies    We quit our jobs and got all set to fly  Your promises had us riding high  But it's dirty rough tough trade we find  "Yeah we agreed, but you 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    [Chorus]    And you're sitting there in your London office  Snug and warm  And you think that you've won but  Just 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    [Chorus]    Why can't you tell us the truth?  Why did you lie to us?
