[Verse 1]
[C][F][E][F]
[E]Well,
[F]to [Am]the record industry,
it means a little bit more hope for their bill,
and I don't think that it's not
a sure thing
[Abm]that their bill will pass,
even because they've
been over.
Because look at what the tactic [Abm]was.
They say, here's our demands.
The record company says,
well, I can't do them all, I'll do
this one.
They said, not good enough,
so we're going [G#m]to have this hearing
and [Am]we're going to need legislation
[E#]to bring you all in[F#]to line.
[G#]You know, at this point, [G#m]maybe,
I hope that people real[E]ize
that a mistake has been made.
[E]The biggest mistake,
though, is the first of these albums
is already [F#]on the street.
[G#m]Polydor released a stickered album this
week.
Everybody's really anxious
to bend over here.
An[G#m]d the broadcasters
have been totally [E]fake
about their responsibility in
this thing.
You know what they say?
We demand
that the record companies
put those lyrics on the records.
You know, it's like
they've been tricked [E]all along.
We nev[G#]er knew what Sheena
Easton was saying.
[F#]I mean, do they really think
[G#m]that anybody believes that a record comes in the [G#]mail to the radio station,
it comes down to shoot,
and it's adjusted like this
and just [F#]floats [E#]onto a turntable,
[F#]you know, [Abm]to the dis[Ab]may of
an unknowing disc jockey?
[F#]You know, let's face it,[Ab]
people pay money
[Am]to get things on the radio.
It is not easy to get [F#]things on the radio.
The [Am]playlist is very small.
[F#]Those records [C#]have been screened
and [E]screened and [G#m]screened.
And if they say something
that you find offensive,
it is a conscious decision
on the part of the programmer at the station,
because he knows that if they [B]play it,
the ratings are going to [Am]go up
and the value of that broadcast prop[Am]erty
is going to go up.
[E]And that's [Ab]all the broadcasters
care about.
For them to pass the buck
back
to the record company
and say, you didn't warn us,
is totally bogus.
