TOP HEAVY
BY DAVID GROSSMAN 2002

I’m alone
Full grown
Generation extra extra extra
One too many
To be anyone
You got to look out
For number one
And the ones you love
Under the sun
It’s a card toss
Up in the air
With a few here and there
Who don’t care
Where it lands
a few dirty hands
Ruins all of the children’s plans

ITS TOP HEAVY

Hey Mr. CEO
Break up the bonus
Water what you grow
Come the new year
If it looks clear
That the profit’s are up
We’d like to see some down here
“cause the work force
Wants a divorce
From the gap
In the capital
You’re throwing in your back pocket

TOP HEAVY

Old McDonald had a pharmacy
Selling drugs to people like you and me
Names brands
It costs so much more
To be a Prozac wife
Than to be a crack whore
It’s all about
Where you get it from
You’re a Riddilan guy
Or an amphetamine bum
A junkie on heroin
A patient on Percodan
Either way your gonna Jones until you find a way to pay the man

TOP HEAVY

Ball players playing ball
See ‘em on TV
they got it all
But up close
on the inside
From you and I
they have to hide
When you slam dunk the truth
One of them makes more money than every youth in a life time
Yours and mine
On the east side
south side
north side
west side
Top Heavy

Rock n Roll will never die
No thanks to ASCAP BMI
If you have a music club in town
You pay these guys
or get shut down
'cause every music club pays a fee
Even when the artist plays for free
‘cause every song that gets sung
is worth some money
to someone
But who gets what is up in the air
Its not right
And its not fair
See I’m an artist of BMI
My songs get sung in clubs
no lie
But it’s not I who gets paid
When songs I write and sing get played
Money collected from clubs I’m in
Get paid to artists
who’ve never been
Near the places where I sing
The BMI check’s made out to STING
If he knew how it went down
Maybe next time STINHG'S in town
He’ll share his gig with a guy like me
Who pays His bills
and plays for free

Top Heavy
