[00:13.76]In this town everybody's trying [00:15.85]To get a piece of everybody else [00:18.65]It gets hard to tell a real friend from a fake one [00:23.74]So many promises, favors, and lies [00:26.30]Most of the city wears a good disguise [00:29.12]And even I too, have been known to wear one [00:32.99] [00:34.03]As the saying goes, it's not who you know [00:36.59]But it's who you blow that'll put you in the show [00:39.20]And if that's not the case I hear you pay 'em [00:44.01]But I don't come easy and I'm flat broke [00:47.02]So I guess it's me who gets the joke [00:49.60]Maybe I'd be smarter if I played dumb [00:53.49] [00:55.04]I can't count all the times I've been had [00:59.87]Now I know much better than to let that make me mad [01:05.14]I don't let none of that get me down [01:10.08]From what I've found this town gets around [01:14.13] [01:14.86]Well the very first manager I had [01:17.84]He was old enough he could have been my dad [01:20.35]He took me out for drinks and talked a big talk [01:25.02]He said, "darling sign on the dotted line" [01:27.95]You know, "kiss my cheek and drink this wine [01:30.82]But if you walk on me, then you can just walk."
