| 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 he said
|
| And I swallowed every line
|
| Yeah I believed every word was true
|
| And I didn’t 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
|
| Your promises had us riding high
|
| And it’s a dirty rough tough trade we find
|
| «Yeah we agreed, but they 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
|
| We were betrayed, betrayed, betrayed
|
| Betrayed, betrayed by Rough Trade lies
|
| Betrayed by lies!
|
| And you’re sitting there
|
| In you’re London office snug and warm
|
| And you think that you’ve won
|
| But 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
|
| Won’t be betrayed, betrayed, betrayed
|
| Won’t be betrayed no more
|
| No lies no more!
|
| Why can’t you tell us the truth?
|
| Why can’t you tell us the truth? |
| (Why did you lie to us?)
|
| Why can’t 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? |
