well ouch! Last night I was bitten by the bug of success 

they said your record's doing great, maybe it can even do better yet 

so we made a video but I must admit it wasn't me 

smiles and lies from the suits and ties that light the big blue screen 

well I must admit for just one day 

I let all that bullshit get in the way 

but I won't do it again 

I just want to play true music! 

Well the reviews have been great, and I thank all the scribes so sincerely 

from the smallest to the biggest fanzines I love you dearly 

and college radio I support with all my might 

don't tell me what they say in spin cause size don't make it right 

but I must admit for just one day 

I let all the bullshit get in the way 

but it won't happen again 

I just want to play ... true music 

so don't call me about it on the phone 

don't ask me when we're going gold 

i'm trying not to think about being bought and sold 

well some sell millions, some sell nothing at all 

and i've done well, had success and stayed true through it all 

but I never did want to own my own limousine 

if music had a color, I know it wouldn't be green 

well I must admit for just one day 

I let all that bullshit get in the way 

but it won't happen again 

I just want to play .... true music!
