Got a little Band and - you got couple of songs and
You practice your ass off and -
You're waiting for your chance

Your first a success in front of
All your friends - you think you got it made
Record you're "Greatest Hits" on eight tracks
From your first pay - thinking it is great

Your world-wide-break-through
Is just a question of time
The feeling of those days
Is just the best of all time -
As long as you are blind

What goes up must come down now -
Everything turns around
What goes up must come down now -
Find yourself on the ground

Got a bad deal and - you got less know how and
You're already trapped and - there's no way out

You're kind of unknown but you've never been told
What's really going on
You never see a cent, all the money's
In the wrong hand now you know

You've lost in contract
Getting out a question of time
The feeling of those days
How could we be so blind -
You've running out of time

Long way up, short way down
Better leave church in town
Decide hard decide well,
don't believe in every word they tell
Long way up, short way down
No time for messing around
Work out your own way
All the best for these days
