Age creeps upon us as time slips away

Will they or won't they the choice of today

Concrete conventions among the elite

The money the focus the newest belief

Oh, the industry

Oh, the industry

Conspiring against the original piece

Cheap imitations that often succeed

Mismanaged funds at the artist's expense

Selling your soul to just one company

Oh, the industry

Oh, the industry

Constant reminders of promises made

Record executives sit in the shade

Telephone rituals day after day

Just on vacation it's stressful in may

Oh, the industry

Oh, the industry

Kills
