Under New Management (Shad)

Rees Shad

No stoplights in this redlight

Just green lights all in a row

It’s the fashion everybody sings in songs

Tumbling out of your radio

It’s an easy smile on an easy girl

It’s the lotto number played around this world

Reach out a hand to touch one golden curl

And find ya gotta pay to play on that tilt-a-whirl

 

The whores are running the cat house      

The pimps are all standing in line

and the johns are jonesin’ for a taste of something

johns have needed since the dawn of time

 

They’ve thought to manufacture passion

Now they can reproduce the essence of smile

And we just grin and bare while they yank our hair

To push us up and down the miracle mile

 

The whores are running the cat house      

The pimps are all standing in line

and the johns are jonesin’ for a taste of something

johns have needed since the dawn of time

 

So they got action movies playing on the TV

That you were thinking was the six o’clock news

You elected the man the party placed in your hand

To give you proof that you had gotten to choose

They call it art when people don’t understand it

They call it Jazz when they pretend that they can

They dress up like the whore you bought two nights before

And call it pop if you don’t point out the scam

 

The whores are running the cat house      

The pimps are all standing in line

and the johns are jonesin’ for a taste of something

johns have needed since the dawn of time

 

The question you’ve got to answer

Are you a whore, a pimp, a john or all three?

Then you’ll ask yourself the next question

Which one of these would you rather be

Cause we’re living in a free market system

We’re buying what we once got for free

And it’s the basis of this that makes you pay for a kiss

The more you pay the better it’s gotta be
