Well we finished up the record and we think that it's the shit

and we want it to go huge, but to play it off legit.

And the guy in A&R's got the CD in his car and he thinks track 4 and 6 are contenders

Put the play lists are so tight that we gotta do it right

But he's getting a good feeling so we're gonna take a meeting with the radio promo

and the marketing Homo's to see if we can get a green light.

So we waited by the phone and they finally let us know that the label is

Quote "Really excited"
Chorus

This could be the big one, time to celebrate perhaps.

Our fate is in the hands of strangers

Going gold or down the hole you can kiss my ass!
So we got a couple stations, we're in medium rotation

but the P.D. isn't sure if the single's gonna work

cuz he's gotta play The Cure and The Psychedelic Furs

for the 80's flashback weekend

And our ad's are in the trades, and a video got made

and it cost a hundred grand, but we never got it played

and we're trying to hit the road, but the agent doesn't know

if there's enough in the budget for tour support

So we're playing local clubs, and we're trying to get a "buzz"

and we got a good review in "Music Connection"
Chorus

This could be the big one, time to celebrate perhaps.

Our fate is in the hands of strangers

Going gold or down the hole you can kiss my ass!
In a last ditch effort to rally up the troops

we ignored our last statement 7 figures unrecouped

cuz we're in it for the art, but we'd like to see if chart

in the billboard "top one thousand"

And we gave it our best shot, but the label says we're dropped

and the drummer quit the band, and he's working for his dad

So we're doing auditions
Chorus x2
This could be the big one, time to celebrate perhaps.

Our fate is in the hands of strangers

Going gold or down the hole you can kiss my ass!
