3. Contract Song (5:33)
Hey guys, I'm a manager
And have I got news for you
You better listen...
Guys you've made it somewhere, you've made it far
You've climbed the first steps on the stairway to the stars
There's just a little problem that I am here to solve
There's a door you won't get through without the key I hold
Hey guys, I am the one you should believe in
Your sanctuary of rock star dreaming
Sign the bloody contract
Better sign it twice
The key to your own heaven
And the hell of your demise
Sign for fame and fortune
Play the bloody game
But don't come crying after
'Cause there's only you to take the blame
Welcome to the family, here's people you can trust
Just do as you are told and all your worries turn to dust
Don't bother 'bout accounting, we'll do it all for you
Just play your music well and we'll make sure you're breaking through
Just put yourself in our hands and your future's shining bright
Our sanctuary is all you need, we'll make you see the light
Sign the bloody contract
Better sign it twice
The key to your own heaven
And the hell of your demise
Sell your soul for fortune
Betray your heart for fame
But don't come crying after
'Cause there's only you who's left to blame
So you're young and you think that the world's made of candies
And you surely can eat all you want to
But the truth is a big lollypop you can't swallow
And the more that you suck it will choke you
You play with the heart of a grim
And the pain settles down deep within
You thought you had it made, you thought you had it all
But you just lost yourself
For everything you gained a piece of soul
I'm not really sure I wanna do this, I kind
- kinda have some doubts
And I...I don't know, if that's really right
Sign the contract
And I don't know, I don't know
Sign the contract
Sign the bloody contract
Sign the bloody contract
Now!
Sign the bloody contract
Better sign it twice
The key to rock star heaven
And the hell of your demise
Sell your soul for fortune
Betray your heart for fame
But don't you cry thereafter
'Cause there's only you to blame
And have I got news for you
You better listen...
Guys you've made it somewhere, you've made it far
You've climbed the first steps on the stairway to the stars
There's just a little problem that I am here to solve
There's a door you won't get through without the key I hold
Hey guys, I am the one you should believe in
Your sanctuary of rock star dreaming
Sign the bloody contract
Better sign it twice
The key to your own heaven
And the hell of your demise
Sign for fame and fortune
Play the bloody game
But don't come crying after
'Cause there's only you to take the blame
Welcome to the family, here's people you can trust
Just do as you are told and all your worries turn to dust
Don't bother 'bout accounting, we'll do it all for you
Just play your music well and we'll make sure you're breaking through
Just put yourself in our hands and your future's shining bright
Our sanctuary is all you need, we'll make you see the light
Sign the bloody contract
