Van Morrison - Showbusiness Lyrics
Say you wanna be in showbusinessSee the man on the tv with a phoney smileBring you up, bring you downHe can turn your head aroundIn showbusiness, showbusinessSee the man on a silver screenWith the phoney smileBring you up, bring you downHe can turn your head aroundShowbusiness, showbusinessHave a hit, maybe twoMake mincemeat out of youCome back in two years timeLay your heart right on the lineIn showbusiness, showbusinessShowbusiness, showbusinessWheres the next one, wheres the next oneWheres the next oneOh, baby just like the last oneLike the last oneSay you wanna be in showbusinessSee the man in the suitWith the phoney smileHe can laugh, he can cryHe can make you reach the sky,He can say anything you wanna hearBe anything you wanna beYou can say anything you want to hearBe anything you want him to beMake you leave your familyIn showbusiness, in showbusinessTake it to the bridgeAnd the next one, and the next oneAnd the next oneHow can you do it like the last oneNow do it just like the last one, pleaseLike the last one, like the last one just like the last oneSay you wanna be in showbusinessHave a pretty face and a pretty smileIm thinkingMake you laugh and they can make you cryBut they cant wait, wipe the tear drops from your eyeIn showbusiness, showbusinessSay you wanna be in showbusinessSee the rock star up on the stageRight nowBehind them drugs, behind them boozeBehind them people he can useBehind them people usin themBehind them people usin usAnd the next one, and the next oneAnd the next oneCan you make it, just like the last oneOh, you make it just like the last oneLike the last oneJust like the last oneSay you wanna be in showbusinessAll the world is a stageEverybody must play their part,Ive been so long in showbusinessI feel right now just like I got myself just startedForget the junk, forget the jiveI just want to stay aliveIn showbusiness, in showbusinessTake it to the bridgeAnd the next one, and the next oneAnd the next oneOh, just like the last one, just like the last oneLike the last oneThey can rob you with a fountain penBut you got to find some honest menThey can make you leave your homeWhere you go to waste and roamControl your fate, control your lifeThey can make you leave your wifeIts showbusiness, its showbusinessTake it to the bridgeAnd the next one, and the next oneAnd the next oneOh, just like the last one, can you make itLike the last oneCan you give it one more timeLike the last oneCan you put it out, like the last oneShowbusiness, its showbusinessIts showbusiness, showbusinessIts showbusiness, showbusiness(fade to end)
