It wears on my patience when I talk to those deejays
At the corporation station they slather on false praise
Even though I'm slow I know no radio will give my record spins
Lean on me all you want to, I'll break before I bend
Way up in those ivory towers with gold records on the walls
All the big wigs got the power but they ain't got the b****
The desk bound clowns that run this town
Have watered down the sound just like their gin
Lean on me all you want to, I'll break before I bend
Hell yeah I'd love to make it but I suck at playing games
I'd rather starve than fake it for a little taste of fame
It's wrong to be a doggone p*** singing songs that make
You yawn for payments on a long mercedes benz
Lean on me all you want to, I'll break before I bend
At the corporation station they slather on false praise
Even though I'm slow I know no radio will give my record spins
Lean on me all you want to, I'll break before I bend
Way up in those ivory towers with gold records on the walls
All the big wigs got the power but they ain't got the b****
The desk bound clowns that run this town
Have watered down the sound just like their gin
Lean on me all you want to, I'll break before I bend
Hell yeah I'd love to make it but I suck at playing games
