Nice But No

(albüm: Electric Horsemen - 2023)

You have a band and you're good to go
It's quite tough, of course, you know
Your folks say, "Boy, you better find a job
Because the music biz doesn't pay a lot"
It's true and cruel and hard to start
And not about individual art
It's making sense quite a lot
Not

Wam-bam, baby, nice but no
Thank you, baby, but thank you, no
Quite good and maybe I should, uh
Oh, baby, if I would, I could
Wam-bam, baby, nice but no
Thank you, baby, but thank you, no
It's quite good and it's understood
But I'll be gone for good

Nice
But no
Nice
But no

You have a hit on the radio
It's good look, of course, you know
You've picked your poison, but you're doing strong
'Cause you sound like somebody else's song
You steal a line or copy parts
And look good in the streaming charts
It's the only way to the top
Not

Wam-bam, baby, nice but no
Thank you, baby, but thank you, no
Quite good and maybe I should, uh
Oh, baby, if I would, I could
Wam-bam, baby, nice but no
Thank you, baby, but thank you, no
It's quite good and it's understood
But I'll be gone for good

Nice
But no
Nice
But no

It's your turn, baby, and you're good to go
But they don't want you on the radio
Is it you or them or the songs you made? No
You can't be saved, buddy, on your way
So grab your piece of the motherfucking cake, let's go
Just get into rock
The only thing that you hit is the block (Fuck, no)
They're gonna say it's out
But forget about all the ones you defied (Let's go)
You choose that way
You get drinks in the bar and you came here to stay (Fuck, no)
You have more to come
Then they wanna shake hands, but no (Let's go)

Wam-bam, baby, nice but no
Thank you, baby, but thank you, no
Quite good and maybe I should, uh
Oh, baby, if I would, I could
Wam-bam, baby, nice but no
Thank you, baby, but thank you, no
It's quite good and it's understood
But I'll be gone for good
Wam-bam, baby, nice but no
Thank you, baby, but thank you, no
It's quite good and it's understood
But I'll be gone for good

Nice
But no
Nice
But no
Nice
But no
Nice
Nice
But no
