[Verse 1]
"Well, I know you can't work in fast food all your life
But don't sign that paper tonight", she said
But it's too late
And I don't remember what I read
Don't remember what they said
I guess it doesn't matter
Guess it doesn't matter anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
You're gonna go to the record store
You're gonna give 'em all your money
Radio plays what they want you to hear
Tell me it's cool, I just don't believe it
[Chorus]
Sell out with me, oh yeah
Sell out with me tonight
The record company's gonna give me lots of money
And everything's gonna be all right
[Verse 2]
No more flippin' burgers puttin' on my silly hat
You know I don't want that no more
And I didn't ask when we'd get paid, I quit my day job anyway
I guess it doesn't matter
Guess it doesn't matter anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you're gonna go to the record store
You're gonna give 'em all your money
Radio plays what they want you to hear
Tell me it's cool, I just don't believe it
[Chorus]
Sell out with me, oh yeah
Sell out with me tonight
The record company's gonna give me lots of money
And everything's gonna be
[Bridge]
And I don't think it'll be so bad
And I know it won't be so bad
'Cause the man said, "That's the way it is"
And the man said, "It don't get better than this"
No, no, no
[Pre-Chorus]
So I signed on to the record company
They say they're gonna give me lots of money
If I play what they want you to hear
Tell me it's cool and I'll sure believe it
[Chorus]
Sell out with me, oh yeah
Sell out with me tonight
The record company's gonna give me lots of money
And everything's gonna be alright
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The record company's gonna make everything alright
"Baby, don't you sign that paper tonight", she said
"But I can't work in fast food all my life"
