You learn to sing
You learn to play
Why don´t the businessmen
Ever learn to pay

[Chorus] :
That´s show business (Show business)
Show business (Show business)
Show business
That´s the way it goes

You play in halls
Play in bars
You´re climbin´ walls
Chasin´ stars

[Chorus]

You pay the man
You pay your dues
When it´s all gone, ooh
You sing the blues

Show business (Show business) x2
Show business
That´s the way it goes

You wanna roll
You wanna rock
You find it hard
If your guitar´s in hock

[Chorus]

You´re smoking butts
They smoke cigars
You´re drown in debt
They drown in bars

[Chorus]

You pull a chick
Take her home
No use, man
You´re worn out to the bone

[Chorus]

That´s show business, show business
That´s show business, show business, show business
That´s the way it goes
Know what I mean
