Bobby martin (keyboards, saxophone, vocals)

Ed mann (percussion)

Scott thunes (bass)

Chad wackerman (drums) I signed on the line

For seven long years

They said I'd be a big star

They said I'd get a big car

All the coke I could tube

All the dope I could shoot

All the smoke I could smoke

But now I'm bein' off 'n broke They said I oughta re-record

The tracks of my tears

They said: "hey! this is it!

It's gonna be a big hit"

With my name up in lights

And some custom-made tights

All the girls call my name

(massimo!)

But it was all just a game *** biznis

*** biznis

Well, *** biznis all the time

Well, *** biznis has brought disaster

On top of this here heart of mine (well, now's the time to play the blues!) Well, one day that contract will expire

One day I will be free

From that nig-ger, nig-gig-gig-ger, *** biznis

All this *** biznis

All this repressing me *** biznis

*** biznis

Oh, *** biznis all the time, all along

Well, *** biznis has brought destruction

Which is why you're here in this song
