Rough Trade Lyrics - Inflammable Material - Stiff Little Fingers

Yeah! 

Record boss said we would be a smash 

Yeah, go straight to Number One 

He talked of hits and tours and lots of cash 

And all the time it wasn't on 

And I believed every word he said 

And I swallowed every line 

Yeah, I believed every word was true 

And I didn't find out in time 

We were betrayed, betrayed, betrayed, betrayed, betrayed by rough trade lies 

Betrayed by lies 

We quit our jobs and got all set to fly 

Your promises had us riding high 

And it's a dirty, rough, tough trade we find 

Yeah, we agreed, but they hadn't signed 

"Sorry, son, gonna have to throw you 

Our lawyers say we don't even know you 

Music is money, kids are no-account fools 

You trade in us, we get betrayed by you 

We were betrayed, betrayed, betrayed, betrayed, betrayed by rough trade lies 

Betrayed by lies 

And you're sitting there in your London office, smug and warm 

And you think that you've won 

But just remember this is just round one 

We're gonna do it our way 

We're gonna make it on our own 

'Cause we've found people to trust 

People who put music first 

Won't betrayed, betrayed, betrayed, betrayed, betrayed by lies no more 

No lies no more 

Why can't you tell us the truth? 

Why can't you tell us the truth? (why did you lie to us?) 

Why can't you tell us the truth? (why did you lie to us?) 

Why did you lie to us? 

Why did you lie to us? 

Why did you lie to us? 

Why did you lie to us? 

Why did you tell us your lies?
