well we finished up the record    and we think that it's the shit   and we want it to go huge    but to play it off legit    and the guy in a&r's    got the cd in his car    and he thinks tracks 4 and 6 are contenders    but the play lists are so tight    that we gotta do it right    but he's getting a good feeling    so we're gonna take a meeting    with the radio promo and the marketing homo's    to see if we can get a green light    so we waited by the phone    and they finally let us know    that the label is quote "really excited"       this could be the big one    time to celebrate perhaps    our fate is in the hands of strangers    going gold or down the hole   you can kiss my ass!       so we got a couple stations    we're in medium rotation    but the p.d. isn't sure    if the single's gonna work    cuz he's gotta play the cure    and the psychedelic furs    for the 80's flashback weekend    and our ad's are in the trades    and a video got made    and it cost a hundred grand    but we never got it played    and we're trying to hit the road    but the agent doesn't know    if there's enough in the budget for tour support    so we're playing local clubs    and we're trying to get a "buzz"    and we got a good review in "music connection"       this could be the big one   time to celebrate perhaps    our fate is in the hands of strangers    going gold or down the hole    you can kiss my ass!       in a last ditch effort    to rally up the troops    we ignored our last statement    7 figures unrecouped    cuz we're in it for the art    but we'd like to see if chart    in the billboard "top one thousand"    and we gave it our best shot    but the label says we're dropped    and the drummer quit the band    and he's working for his dad    so we're doing auditions       this could be the big one    time to celebrate perhaps    our fate is in the hands of strangers    going gold or down the hole    you can kiss my ass!
