Sell Out Sell Out Lyrics - Singles - Klaatu

Mama don't need to Ph.D. in sociology 

To be aware of the revolution happening in the streets 

Papa said trends keep changing like the tides upon the sea 

I'm gonna jump on the wagon now to rest my aching feet 

I've made up my mind and I'm gonna get my piece too 

Now is the time there isn't a day to lose 

I've had it to here just watching that world go by 

This is the year that either we do or we die 

(chorus) 

Sell out, sell out that's the name of the game 

Sell out, sell out that anybody can play 

Sell out, sell out I think you know what I mean 

Sell out, sell out crank up that funk machine 

I'm tired of breaking my back to please 

Critics who can't be pleased 

It's time I looked out for number one 

Time I looked out for me 

I've gotta face the reality of living in the real world 

Before I end up an old man feeding peanuts to the squirrels 

I finally heard the little voice in my head 

It gave me the word you wanna know what it said? 

Don't be a sap get rid of that cross you bear 

'Cause taking the rap won't make you a millionaire 

(chorus) 

Sell out, sell out can't pay no bills with your pride 

Sell out, sell out I know 'cause baby I tried 

Sell out, sell out it's easy once you concede 

Sell out, sell out that love ain't all you need 

Play that funky music play that funky beat 

Play that funky music love ain't all you need 

The ivory tower's fallen down 

The nickels and dimes are spent 

I've given up castles in the air 

I couldn't afford the rent 

Every man has his selling price 

I'm taking the highest bid 

Come out of the clouds, Sir Rupert said 

And do what Stevie did 

(Peddle yourself!) Peddle yourself you'd better take my advice 

Or sit on the shelf he couldn't be more precise 

Don't get me wrong I'd hate to be misconstrued 

But stringing along it's the only left to do 

(chorus) 

Yeah sell out, sell out you've gotta move with the times 

Sell out, sell out or they'll surely leave you behind 

Sell out, sell out there's no sweeter sound than the crash 

Sell out, sell out of freshly minted cash 

Play that funky music play that funky beat 

Play that funky music love ain't all you need 

Sell out sell out sell out 

Sell out sell out sell out
