Write Record Release Blues

If that phone keeps ringing
I'm gonna lose some cool
I'm in my closet and I'm okay
Leave me in peaceful abject misery

I'm a young man now but
There's an old man on my back
As he gets stronger, I get weak
Someday soon he'll take the place of me

If that scum keeps rising
I'm gonna jump this ship
Tell me where did it go wrong?
I can't fix it, I'll just sing my song

You can deride and mock me
That's been done before
I won't get on my knees for you
I won't be a record business whore
