You learn to sing
You learn to play
Why don't the businessmen
Ever learn to pay
That's show business [Show business]
Show business [Show business]
Show business
That's the way it goes
You play in halls
Play in bars
You're climbin' walls
Chasin' stars
That's show business [Show business]
Show business [Show business]
Show business
That's the way it goes
You pay the man
You pay your dues
When it's all gone, ooh
You sing the blues
Show business [Show business]
Show business [Show business]
Show business
That's the way it goes
You wanna roll
You wanna rock
You find it hard
If your guitar's in hock
That's show business [Show business]
Show business [Show business]
Show business
That's the way it goes
You're smoking butts
They smoke cigars
You're drown in debt
They drown in bars
That's show business [Show business]
Show business [Show business]
Show business
That's the way it goes
You pull a chick
Take her home
No use, man
You're worn out to the bone
That's show business [Show business]
Show business [Show business]
Show business
That's the way it goes
That's show business, show business
That's show business, show business, show business
That's the way it goes
Know what I mean
