When you reach number ten |
| [00:12.66] |
And think the struggle ends |
| [00:14.01] |
But it ain't the end |
| [00:15.51] |
It's only a trend |
| [00:17.67] |
You have to unbend |
| [00:18.84] |
'cause it's only a trend |
| [00:24.06] |
Don't lose all your friends |
| [00:25.98] |
Don't make your heroes end |
| [00:29.64] |
When you reach number eight |
| [00:31.17] |
It ain't no pearly gate |
| [00:32.49] |
'cause it won't satiate |
| [00:33.78] |
Your growing appetite |
| [00:35.28] |
You can ply your trade |
| [00:37.05] |
And push your crusade |
| [00:38.58] |
Emancipate or indoctrinate, but the |
| [00:40.80] |
Traps are all laid for any honest crusade |
| [00:48.15] |
Your old values will fade |
| [00:49.53] |
As you struggle to make the grade |
| [01:03.12] |
As you struggle to make the grade |
| [01:08.49] |
You needn't bother! |
| [01:08.94] |
When you hit number four |
| [01:12.09] |
You're almost through the door |
| [01:14.37] |
But there's a whole lot |
| [01:14.79] |
More you just can't ignore |
| [01:15.75] |
The telephone's sure, you know the score |
| [01:19.47] |
But don't let this uproar |
| [01:20.82] |
Dissipate your encore |
| [01:23.13] |
It's written in the news |
| [01:26.01] |
How you paid your dues |
| [01:30.33] |
But you've no excuse |
| [01:30.78] |
For the people you abuse |
| [01:34.71] |
When you reach number one |
| [01:36.21] |
You can beat your drum |
| [01:38.43] |
You can sack your roadies in birmingham |
| [01:40.38] |
When your record is platinum |
| [01:42.12]You can stick it to the [band] |
|
| [01:44.25] |
To the wall like you've always planned |
| [01:47.52] |
It's written in the news how you paid your dues |
| [01:53.34] |
But you've no excuse for the people you abuse |
| [02:02.88] |
When you reach number ten |
| [02:03.72] |
The people you abuse |
| [02:09.33] |
No excuse |
| [02:09.63] |
For the people you abuse |
| [02:19.80] |
You've got no excuse |
| [02:20.25] |
For the people you abuse |
