• This is business: they don't care about your lyrics;
  The better you sell, the better future for their children.
  Controversy sells, so they support conflict,
  Makes more progress, means more profit.

  Meanwhile, they tell you the date of his next project.
  What a life...death made them more profit:
  Record companies get paid for your drama.
