Verse 1
(C major) (F major) (E major) (F major)
(E major) Well,
(F major) (A minor) to the record industry,
it means a little bit more hope for their bill,
and I don't think that it's not
a sure thing
(A flat minor) that their bill will pass,
even because they've
been over.
Because look at what the tactic (A flat minor) was.
They say, here's our demands.
The record company says,
well, I can't do them all, I'll do
this one.
They said, not good enough,
so we're going (G sharp minor) to have this hearing
and (A minor) we're going to need legislation
(E sharp major) to bring you all in (F sharp major) to line.
(G sharp major) You know, at this point, (G sharp minor) maybe,
I hope that people real (E major) ize
that a mistake has been made.
(E major) The biggest mistake,
though, is the first of these albums
is already (F sharp major) on the street.
(G sharp minor) Polydor released a stickered album this
week.
Everybody's really anxious
to bend over here.
An (G sharp minor) d the broadcasters
have been totally (E major) fake
about their responsibility in
this thing.
You know what they say?
We demand
that the record companies
put those lyrics on the records.
You know, it's like
they've been tricked (E major) all along.
We nev (G sharp major) er knew what Sheena
Easton was saying.
(F sharp major) I mean, do they really think
(G sharp minor) that anybody believes that a record comes in the (G sharp major) mail to the radio station,
it comes down to shoot,
and it's adjusted like this
and just (F sharp major) floats onto a turntable, (E sharp major)
(F sharp major) you know, (A flat minor) to the dis (A flat major) may of
an unknowing disc jockey?
(F sharp major) You know, let's face (A flat major) it,
people pay money
(A minor) to get things on the radio.
It is not easy to get (F sharp major) things on the radio.
The (A minor) playlist is very small.
(F sharp major) Those records (C sharp major) have been screened
and (E major) screened and (G sharp minor) screened.
And if they say something
that you find offensive,
it is a conscious decision
on the part of the programmer at the station,
because he knows that if they (B major) play it,
the ratings are going to (A minor) go up
and the value of that broadcast prop (A minor) erty
is going to go up.
(E major) And that's (A flat major) all the broadcasters
care about.
For them to pass the buck
back
to the record company
and say, you didn't warn us,
is totally bogus.
