You learn to sing
You learn to play
Why don't the businessmen
Ever learn to pay
That's show business (Show business)
Show business (Show business)
Show business
That's the way it goes
You play in halls
Play in bars
You're climbin' walls
Chasin' stars
That's show business (Show business)
Show business (Show business)
Show business
That's the way it goes
You pay the man
You pay your dues
When it's all gone, ooh
You sing the blues
Show business (Show business)
Show business (Show business)
Show business
That's the way it goes
You wanna roll
You wanna rock
You find it hard
If your guitar's in hock
That's show business (Show business)
Show business (Show business)
Show business
That's the way it goes
You're smoking butts
They smoke cigars
You're drown in debt
They drown in bars
That's show business (Show business)
Show business (Show business)
Show business
That's the way it goes
You pull a chick
Take her home
No use, man
You're worn out to the bone
That's show business (Show business)
Show business (Show business)
Show business
That's the way it goes
That's show business, show business
That's show business, show business, show business
That's the way it goes
Know what I mean
