Paroles Sell out sell out Klaatu

Sell out sell out

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
