We are the unknown   Sometimes it feels like the chips are down   Nothing is going your way   You've been recording endlessly   Sleepless nights aimlessly   Songs wasted cos tapes are gathering dust   Step 1, we're talented   Step 2, who can we trust?   The industry is full of cutthroats, false hopes   Money controls, killing of many souls, anything goes   You know the ropes   But if you ain't part of the click, you ain't part of the plan   So you might as well quit   Studios costing the earth to hire   You feel, you could set the world on fire   If you had a deal   But let's be real about this   It ain't what you know, it's who you know   It's all a game and we're all part of the show   What's the role that you play?   Can you do it your way?   You need a hell of a lot a luck being from the UK   You can say what you wanna say   But remember it's rare that you'll be getting continuous airplay      We are the unknown   Now you know the name   Unstoppable, clever, artistic   You're about to enter a higher-level dimension   We're fantastic   We are the unknown   Now you know the name   Break the barriers and persist to climb      Many have travelled down the road that you're about to take   Made, many mistakes while searching for the perfect break   Years of hardships, ripped jeans, a bearded face   You were there at the wrong time in wrong place   Maybe next time when you ain't looking desperate   They'll be on you like a rash   Yeah, you guessed it   They wanna know your name, where you're from   How long you been an entertainer for   And who wrote the songs   Do you know Danny from Sony?   Or Mike at Universal?   Dawn from RCA?   I met her at the dress rehearsal   Name checking can get you recognised further   But in the mean time trying to survive is murder   It's all game to them, but to us it's life or death   Or maybe they just lack a lot of depth   Or maybe they just don't understand    What it means to be record   How it feels to perform, but we go on      We are the unknown   Now you know the name   Unstoppable, clever, artistic   You're about to enter a higher-level dimension   We're fantastic   We are the unknown   Now you know the name   Artistical brain waves of the un-sizables      On the streets you're recognised, your name's all over the town   You've been recording for years and you're well renowned   Situations confuse you   Bad luck pursues you   Promoters hire you for your services and use you   They fail to pay you   They aim to play you   My advice is play the games like they do   Who knows what's around the corner   It could be the break that you've been waiting for   As a performer   We sense something's about to happen   Keep it up   Never give it up   No matter what they all might say   One day it could pay off   Watch the parasites   Crowd around you   Like you're some sort of megastar   But in the mean time trying to survive is murder   And the conditions you're living in have never been worse   It's in your blood, you're addicted   Nothing can change that   Make your move, this is payback      We are the unknown   Now you know the name   Mark B, Blade   We're fantastic   Break through barriers and persist to climb   We are the unknown   Now you know the name   Unstoppable, clever, artistical
