Here’s a song about music business by someone who would know.
Below this clip, we also can watch a fascinating recent video by Smashing Pumpkins called Beguiled. Something very interesting is happening in the music business, that’s for certain. Are the artists revolting against the organized forces of genocide, war and organized crime? Are all of us who want peace and freedom really on the same side? The person whom I viewed (BECAUSE OF BRAINWASHING) as a “collaborator” turned out to be very much on my side. We all need to search our thoughts to find which ones belong to us and which ones were planted in our brains by external destructive forces. Watch what people do much more than what they say. We all have a gun to our heads whether we realize it or not.
"It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock 'N' Roll)" lyrics
Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stoppin' on the byways
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Gettin' robbed, gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up, broken boned
Getting had, getting took
I tell you folks, it's harder than it looks
It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll
If you think it's easy doing one night stands
Try playing in a rock-roll band
It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll
Hotel, motel
Make you want to cry
Ladies do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Gettin' old, gettin' gray
Gettin' ripped off, underpaid
Gettin' sold, second-hand
That's how it goes, playin' in a band
It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out, it's rough and mean
It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll
Well, it's a long way
Oh, it's a long way
(You should have told me)
It's a long way
Such a long way
"Beguiled" lyrics
So swallow hard the serpent
Of many tags and faces hid in masks
Coiled 'round this lung until the last
He'll crack your boots young pagans
'Cause like you I was hatched to traipse on cold
And 17's a long drawn way from hope
And I've learned these lessons I was taught
Taut, so taught
And now I'm telling you
Return the faith
Return the faith
They're smashing out the veils
Return the faith
And there's no escape
So return the faith
With charging light brigades
Return the faith
You've gotta move
So as betrayed by rainbows
Here I convey I've sold out your dear cause
And the king has placed us in his jaws
It's sure no place can hold us
But in this scene I'm December
And your June's wretch
And my idyls lay gasping as if death
And I've learned these lessons I was taught
Taut, so taught
And now I'm telling you
Return the faith
Return the faith
They're smashing out the veils
Return the faith
And there's no escape
So return the faith
With charging light brigades
Return the faith
You've gotta move
Return the faith
Return the faith
Return the faith
Return the faith
Return the faith
