Mama don't to Ph.D. in sociology To be of the revolution happening in the streets Papa said trends keep like the tides upon the sea I'm gonna on the wagon now to rest my aching feet
I've up my mind and I'm gonna get my piece too Now is the time there isn't a day to I've had it to just watching that world go by This is the year that we do or we die
(chorus) Sell out, sell out that's the of the game Sell out, sell out that anybody can Sell out, sell out I think you what I mean out, sell out crank up that funk machine
I'm tired of breaking my back to Critics who can't be time I looked out for number one Time I out for me I've gotta face the reality of in the real world Before I end up an old man feeding to the squirrels
I finally the little voice in my head It gave me the word you wanna know it said? Don't be a sap get rid of that cross you 'Cause taking the rap make you a millionaire
(chorus)
Sell out, sell out pay no bills with your pride Sell out, sell out I 'cause baby I tried out, sell out it's easy once you concede Sell out, sell out that love all you need Play that funky music that funky beat Play that music love ain't all you need
The ivory fallen down The nickels and are spent I've given up in the air I couldn't afford the Every man has his selling I'm the highest bid Come out of the clouds, Sir Rupert And do what did
(Peddle yourself!) Peddle yourself you'd better my advice Or sit on the he couldn't be more precise Don't get me I'd hate to be misconstrued But along it's the only left to do
(chorus)
Yeah sell out, sell out you've move with the times Sell out, sell out or surely leave you behind Sell out, out there's no sweeter sound than the crash Sell out, out of freshly minted cash
Play that music play that funky beat Play that music love ain't all you need
out sell out sell out Sell out sell out out
