Píseň: Joe

Interpret:
Tom Petty
Album:
The last DJ
My name's Joe, I'm the CEO
 Yeah, I'm the man makes the big wheels roll
 I'm the hand on the green light switch
 You get to be famous, I get to be rich


 Go get me a kid with a good lookin' face
 Bring me a kid can remember his place
 Some hungry poet, son of a bitch
 He gets to be famous, I get to be rich


 Or bring me a girl, they're always the best
 You put 'em on stage and you have 'em undress
 Some angel whore who can learn a guitar lick
 Hey, now that's what I call music


 Well, they'll come lookin' for money when the public gets bored
 But we'll fight 'em with lawyers, they could never afford
 Yeah, I'll make her look like a spoiled little bitch
  She gets to be famous, I get to be rich


 Or bring me a girl, they're always the best
 You put 'em on stage and you have 'em undress
 Some angel whore who can learn a guitar lick
 Hey, now that's what I call music


 So burned out Johnny thinks the books are shifty
 What good's that alchy to me when he's fifty?
 Well, we could move catalog if he'd only die quicker
 Send my regards to the gig and a case of good liquor


 He gets to be famous, I get to be rich
 He gets to be famous, I get to be rich
 My name's Joe, I'm the CEO
 I'm the man makes the big wheels role
