Waiting To Sell Out Lyrics - Arrogant Worms

People ask us why we sing, they say we really dig your stuff 

You must really love the things you do, is it enough 

You've all got university degrees that should be a start 

You can get a job a car a life, do you do it for the love of art 

Integrity and honesty usually mean poverty 

Attention in the media won't buy financial solvency 

We're just here to have some laughs we don't want to lead in fashion 

We don't want a record deal as long as we get the cash in 

'cause we're waiting to sell out 

Our GNP is what we're all about 

Our budget's low, our costs are high 

Without your help we'll surely die 

My name is Mike and I can't afford to eat 

My name is Trevor and I live out on the street 

My name is Chris..... (ramble on) 

So if you..... buy our tape 

So if you..... buy our tape 

So if you..... buy our tape 

Scat 

'cause we're selling out that's what we do 

Is ten dollars too much to ask of you and you and you 

This is the last of us you'll see unless we pay our PUC (public utilities) 

We give you laughter we work and slave 

So don't be the bastard that never gave 

Ten dollars can go so far, you'll see us spend it at the bar 

Buy our tapes or our CDs, we'll pay the GST 

Got no cash, what the heck, we'll even take a cheque certified of course.... 

'cause we're waiting to sell out 

If you don't buy our stuff we're going to pout 

Think about this if you don't buy 

Next set we sing American Pie 

(blah blah blah) 

'cause we're waiting to sell out.... 

oooooh.
