lyrics

You ain't getting famous, you ain't getting paid
The only one that's getting rich is Long and McQuade
Spend all your time and money for a year or two
The only payment you get is a good review
Think of your scene and every band that you know
The only ones that really made it are the ones that had the dough

Pay to play, pay to play, pay to play, pay to play
We don't pay to play, no we don't pay to play
Our money only goes one way
We don't pay to play

You can get lost in all the bands in Austin
Absorbing the cost and you pay your own way
A folk music conference is a long way to go
To play a hotel room show to folks you already know
Even if you win a Juno and some fame, get on the cover of Exclaim!
But with more players in the game the bottom line is still the same

Pay to play, pay to play, pay to play, pay to play
We don't pay to play, no we don't pay to play
Our money only goes one way
We don't pay to play

Managers and agents will help you live your dreams
But they drain your bank account like a pyramid scheme
How do those industry guys all have a house and car
When none of their bands ever make it that far?
You think they're buying what you're selling, but they're selling to you
You think that you're the farmer but you're really the food

Pay to play, pay to play, pay to play, pay to play
We don't pay to play, no we don't pay to play
Our money only goes one way
We don't pay to play

We don't pay to play, we don't pay to play
So maybe we'll die in obscurity, but we don't pay to play
We don't pay to play
We don't pay to play
We don't pay to play
