Lyrics

[00:01.19]
[00:09.67] I was trippin' lookin' at my portfolio
[00:11.28]
[00:11.84] Wonderin' how I was gonna make enough dough you know
[00:14.22] Called up a friend who wrote for 'One Tree Hill' and 'Jericho'
[00:16.53] He had a job for me and check it with a four-letter company
[00:19.23]
[00:23.24] Hey I got a proposition for you
[00:25.32] How 'bout you let me keep my profits as a scorer
[00:27.68] Record sales are shrinkin' I'm gettin' poorer
[00:29.71] I got a kid to feed how 'bout you cut a deal with me
[00:32.25] Ha hey look Liz we see you as a commodity
[00:34.81] We've been with you since day one and that's an oddity
[00:37.02] And after a series of phone calls to the great publishing houses
[00:39.50] O Ursa Minor I reached my representative who pulled out the
[00:43.72]
[00:45.52] From the File Cabinet
[00:47.31]
[00:49.22] In the form of tablets made of stone
[00:53.11]
[00:55.51] Then he said
[00:56.59] Let me see it's here in my folder
[00:58.82] Oh shit you're twenty years older
[01:00.94] Still hot but gettin' a lot colder
[01:03.21] And you wanna cut a what with me
[01:05.66] Lemme tell you how it's done here in the Hollywood
[01:07.99] Maybe you was thinkin' you was in the Bollywood
[01:10.07] If I wanna break the rule you know I probably could
[01:12.23]
[01:17.22] Liz I'd love to help you out
[01:18.64] But we have what we call Standards & Practices
[01:20.21] In legal terms we're referring to this as a recoupable interest
[01:22.45] In an artist's compositions on vinyl plastic digital
[01:24.77] And all transmittable airwaves for a period
[01:26.83] Of no less than six or nine years in all territories of the Earth
[01:29.42] The solar system and the known universe
[01:30.91]
[01:37.45] And I replied
[01:38.34]
[01:38.97] Listen here my dear little Roni
[01:41.27] Don't you give me no phoney-baloney
[01:43.34] This is not 'My First Pretty Pony'
[01:45.53] Don't you know you're f**kin' with me
[01:47.32]
[01:48.08] Oh it's a bad day for the pool boy
[01:50.37] Come to clean and discover you boy
[01:52.56] Face down and feet turnin' blue boy
[01:54.84] Now your eyes are closed you finally have the sight to see
[01:57.41] It's all mine
[01:59.35] It's all mine
[02:00.54]
[02:01.51] It's all mine
[02:03.92] Na na na na na na na na
