Manager

from Impossible Things by New People

/

lyrics

Knock to your eyes, it’s a new compromise
It has come in disguise as a man of peace
And with new blood in hand he will state his demand
For a place in the band and brand new lease

And he’s knocked down the door, this one you’ve waited for
And he’ll set up the tour for a random fee
In the end, he believes, if he works, you will leave
So he won’t, but he’ll lock us, and damn the key

Scrape your manager up off the foyer floor
You tracked that scum in here; now sweep it back out the door

In the cup of the gods, flaming sets you at odds
There’s a few many bods here around these necks
So don’t save what you can, all we need is a plan
For to dash in the fan mail and sign the checks

Common all, what ya say? Did we blow you away?
Here in drunken fuck-bumble-town miles from jack
As the last member quits, blame the man with the wits
To rely upon garbage on fields of crack

Scrape your manager up off the foyer floor
Don’t track that scum in here; you leave it at the door
And stay poor
