Sellin' Out

(album: No Promises... No Debts - 1979)

She just found out what it's all about
She don't wanna be another face in the crowd
Gets on her feet, starts walking out
Looks like she's got herself some sense of direction now
All the birds in the sky sing in harmony
Sound-track to the title-roll of a success movie
Featuring little miss make believe
Everybody wants her nobody gets her
It's part of the scheme

There's a shade of doubt, she's selling out
I'm glad that she proved the fact
There's still some a that balls around
I'm on the couch, she's on TV
Can't help thinking that she's laughing right back at me
Listen all listen here comes my favorite line
I'll do anything just to save that career of mine
All right I don't know what she's doing
Her feet are getting too big for her shoes
But it sure beats the eight o'clock news
Gotta admit it yeah yeah

You just found out what it's all about
You don't wanna be another face in the crowd
Get on your feet, start walking out
Looks like you got yourself some sense of direction now
Beyond a shade of doubt, you're selling out
I'm glad that you prove the fact
There's still some of that balls around
Listen all listen there's a favorite lie
I'll do anything just to boost that career of mine
