Mama need to Ph.D. in sociology To be aware of the revolution in the streets Papa said trends keep like the tides upon the sea I'm gonna jump on the wagon now to rest my feet
made up my mind and I'm gonna get my piece too Now is the time there a day to lose I've had it to here just watching that go by is the year that either we do or we die
(chorus) Sell out, sell out the name of the game Sell out, sell out that anybody can out, sell out I think you know what I mean Sell out, sell out up that funk machine
I'm tired of my back to please Critics who can't be It's time I looked out for one I looked out for me I've gotta face the reality of living in the real Before I end up an old man peanuts to the squirrels
I finally heard the little voice in my It gave me the you wanna know what 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 can't pay no with your pride Sell out, sell out I 'cause baby I tried Sell out, out it's easy once you concede Sell out, sell out that ain't all you need Play that funky music play funky beat Play funky music love ain't all you need
The ivory fallen down The and dimes are spent I've up castles in the air I couldn't the rent Every man has his selling I'm taking the bid Come out of the clouds, Sir said And do what did
(Peddle yourself!) Peddle you'd better take my advice Or sit on the shelf he couldn't be more get me wrong I'd hate to be misconstrued But stringing along the only left to do
(chorus)
Yeah out, sell out you've gotta move with the times Sell out, out or they'll surely leave you behind Sell out, out there's no sweeter sound than the crash Sell out, sell out of minted cash
Play funky music play that funky beat Play that funky music love ain't all you
Sell out out sell out Sell out out sell out
