Wellthey told me to come on over

I made my way to new york

And they tried to have me deported

Stop me from getting work

Blacklisted me all over

They were vicious and they were mean

They were bigtime operators

Babyon the music business scene



Ohthey looked like politicians

But underneath they were thugs

And they spread malicious rumours

Threatened to have me busted for drugs

They had nothing on me

Oh manI was really clean

But they were bigtime operators

On the music business scene



They put a bug in my apartment

To listen in on my calls

I was looking for some motivation

I couldn't find anyany motivation at all

They were very desperate people

Riding in long black limousines

But they were bigtime operators

On the music business scene



They were glorified by the media

They were heroes who had names

They said that they would bury me

If I didn't play their game

They said I didn't know the score

And that I was young and green

They were bigame operators

On the music business scene



Tried to hold me to a phoney contract

I said I didn't agree

Had to get out of the clutches

Had to go underground you see

Now I'm living in another country

But I know exactly just where I've been

Stay away from bigtime operators

Babyon the music business scene



Wellbaby bigtime operators

On the music business scene

Oh babybigtime operators

On the music business scene

Wellfull of names and places

Babyyou know who I mean
