Salieri for my good friends Dennis The Menace For the bell-ends The grateful imposter all the same Product of right time and place All the best artists that I know Struggle to get local shows Or get the if you know, you know But then no one really knows I saw the billing for the kids from private schools All sharing management and agents Who know just what to do The industry monsters Decide who gets the concert They won't speak out on the genocide In case they lose a sponsor And I think it's clearer than it's ever been The difference between industry and music scene With every artform it seems to be the same All the worst shit you can find will be shoved right in your face Salieri for my good friends I'm jealous of the talent that seems heaven-sent And just because they don't have fame They're spoken of like a charity case
