Billy Banker Lyrics
Billy Banker, he's a wanker
And a young blood, yet he's given a key
Makes them money, but it's funny
Because before this, he sold those ads on TV
The greatest records will never get heard
Lost on shelves in a mother's basement somewhere
Thanks to Billy, there's still plenty
Of shelves and basements for generations to share
It's not about the swing and cut of your jib
It's all about what they can sell to the kids
You can fake it 'til you make it, they'll say
Who's to know? Who's to know? Who's to know?
There's a heap of eager blue bloods
Primed and ready to sell their honor away
Nothing new there, but the catch is
It's been packaged in an indie rock frame
Here's the problem, did he rob them?
A&R men, they wanna go for the win
What's the point in losing funding
On a great band if they can't sell a thing?
It's not about the swing and cut of your jib
It's all about what they can sell to the kids
You can fake it 'til you make it, they'll say
Who's to know? Who's to know? Who's to know?
And a young blood, yet he's given a key
Makes them money, but it's funny
Because before this, he sold those ads on TV
The greatest records will never get heard
Lost on shelves in a mother's basement somewhere
Thanks to Billy, there's still plenty
Of shelves and basements for generations to share
It's all about what they can sell to the kids
You can fake it 'til you make it, they'll say
Who's to know? Who's to know? Who's to know?
Primed and ready to sell their honor away
Nothing new there, but the catch is
It's been packaged in an indie rock frame
Here's the problem, did he rob them?
A&R men, they wanna go for the win
What's the point in losing funding
On a great band if they can't sell a thing?
It's all about what they can sell to the kids
You can fake it 'til you make it, they'll say
Who's to know? Who's to know? Who's to know?
