Charlatan's Ride Lyrics
ah i know, i know, i know, i know
You walk into the lab; it’s time to seal the deal
We’ll sign the contract later
He sees in your eyes anticipation and declares,
“You’re gonna be a big star, you’re gonna be a big star”
Sing muthafucker, pour your soul out and sing some more!
You’re a badass, everyone knows it, now take the floor!
Sing muthafucker, so the kids can know what you sing for!
And if you do me these favors, you’re a fuckin’ whore
They’ll waste your life, they don’t care
Leaving it up to the money
They’ll take your time and your fare
Yea, it’s really crummy
What is in your heart? – it makes no difference to him
The Charlatan will go on with his games
Back in the booth; it’s time I let him know
This isn’t feeling right, but he’s in control
He’s got the soundboard lit up, and the speakers turned up
And he says, “You’re gonna be a big star, you’re gonna be a big star”
Leaving it up to the money, Living it up for the money
They’ll waste your life, they don’t care
Leaving it up to the money
They’ll take your time and your fare
Yea, it’s really crummy
We’ll sign the contract later
He sees in your eyes anticipation and declares,
“You’re gonna be a big star, you’re gonna be a big star”
You’re a badass, everyone knows it, now take the floor!
Sing muthafucker, so the kids can know what you sing for!
And if you do me these favors, you’re a fuckin’ whore
Leaving it up to the money
They’ll take your time and your fare
Yea, it’s really crummy
The Charlatan will go on with his games
This isn’t feeling right, but he’s in control
He’s got the soundboard lit up, and the speakers turned up
And he says, “You’re gonna be a big star, you’re gonna be a big star”
Leaving it up to the money
They’ll take your time and your fare
Yea, it’s really crummy

This song is pretty straight-to-the-point. It's about the music industry and how, if you're not careful, they will exploit you! I'm guessing there were a few charlatans that have crossed paths with The SIlhouet. ;) Very catchy tune!
