The percentage you’re paying is too high priced
While you’re living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he’s made on your dreams
While you’re living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car

But glittering prizes and endless compromises

Rush – Spirit of the Radio
You suck my blood like a leech
You break the law and you breach
Screw my brain till it hurts
You’ve taken all my money,and you want more
Talk like a big business tycoon
But you’re just a hot-air balloon
You break the law and you breach
Screw my brain till it hurts
You’ve taken all my money,and you want more
Talk like a big business tycoon
But you’re just a hot-air balloon
Queen – Death on Two Legs
People want to keep you in the dark
Watch out for piranhas
There’s always piranhas
Watch out for piranhas
There’s always piranhas

“The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.
There’s also a negative side.”
